Question

And a wildlife preserve 46 ducks are captured tagged and then released. Later to her ducks are examined in four of the 200 ducks are found to have tags. Estimate the number of ducks in the preserve

Answer 1

2300

Explanation:

We are given that

Out of 200 , four ducks are tagged.

We have to find the number of ducks in the preserve if 46 ducks are tagged.

Let x be the number of ducks in the preserve.

If number of tagged ducks increases then number of preserved ducks also increases.It is in direct proportion.

According to question

`(x)/(46)=(200)/(4)`

`x=(200* 46)/(4)`

`x=50* 46`

x=2300
