Question

total pieces of food eaten (from previous page) flock x 123 flock y 99 flock z 78 food percentage % % % simulated number of birds in flock for 2nd generation divide each flocks total pieces of food by 300, the total number of pieces of food eaten. ** multiply the food percentage for each flock by the total number of birds (30). done

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate food percentage for Flock X

$\frac{123}{300}\times100 = 41\%$

Step2: Calculate food percentage for Flock Y

$\frac{99}{300}\times100 = 33\%$

Step3: Calculate food percentage for Flock Z

$\frac{78}{300}\times100 = 26\%$

Step4: Calculate simulated number of birds in Flock X for 2nd generation

$0.41\times30=12.3\approx12$

Step5: Calculate simulated number of birds in Flock Y for 2nd generation

$0.33\times30 = 9.9\approx10$

Step6: Calculate simulated number of birds in Flock Z for 2nd generation

$0.26\times30=7.8\approx8$

Answer:

	Flock X	Flock Y	Flock Z
Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 2nd Generation	12	10	8
