Answer 1

7th year

Explanation:

Answer 2

total population after a year ≅ 452525

Explanation:

Population of wild turkey after a year = 1.4 x 121212 = 169696.8

Population of white-tail deer after a year = 181818 + 101010 = 282828

Hence total population after a year = 169696.8 + 282828 = 452524.8 ≅ 452525
