Answer:

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.
