Question

Part

These beetles have a uniform distribution. In year 1, how many beetles are there per hectare? How many beetles per
hectare were there in the year the beetles reached carrying capacity? Round up or down to the nearest whole number, if
necessary.

Answer -
In year 1, the population was 11,500 spread over 115 hectares

Answer 1

100 beetles are present in per hectare if they are uniformly distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population is uniformly distributed, so the population of beetles i. e. 11500 is divided by 115 gives the result of 100 beetles per hectare. If the environment is suitable for the growth of beetles, the carrying capacity of beetle population is about on million per hectare. They grow very fast if there is plenty of water and food is available for beetles but their population decreases when drought occurs in the area.
