Answer 1

There are approximately 106 ants per square foot of the colony

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are approximately 106 ants per square foot of the colony.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The colony where the ants live is in the form of a circle with a radius of 3 feet.

The area of a circle is given by multiplying π with the square of the radius (r²). Here the radius r is 3 feet.

The area of a circle
`=\pi r^(2).`

The area of the given circle
`= \pi (3^(2)) = 3.1415(9) = 28.2735` square feet.

Step 2:

To find the population density of the ants per square foot, we divide the number of ants in the entire area by the area of their colony.

The population density
`(3,000)/(28.2735) = 106.1064.`

Rounding this off, we get 106. So there are approximately 106 ants per square foot of the colony.
