Question

flock x flock y flock z total pieces of food eaten (from previous page) 123 99 78 food percentage % % % simulated number of birds in flock for 2nd generation divide each flock’s 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

$Food\ percentage_{X}=\frac{123}{300}\times100 = 41\%$

Step2: Calculate food percentage for Flock Y

$Food\ percentage_{Y}=\frac{99}{300}\times100 = 33\%$

Step3: Calculate food percentage for Flock Z

$Food\ percentage_{Z}=\frac{78}{300}\times100 = 26\%$

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

$Simulated\ number_{X}=0.41\times30 = 12.3\approx12$

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

$Simulated\ number_{Y}=0.33\times30 = 9.9\approx10$

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

$Simulated\ number_{Z}=0.26\times30 = 7.8\approx8$

Answer:

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