Question

high population density can cause increases in competition for resources, such as food and shelter. the table shows the number of zebras living in four different regions. in which region is competition for resources most likely the greatest? region a region b region c region d

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate population density for each region

Population density formula: \(density=\frac{population}{area}\)
For Region A: \(density_A=\frac{1312}{212}\approx6.19\)
For Region B: \(density_B=\frac{630}{314}\approx2.01\)
For Region C: \(density_C=\frac{16400}{625}=26.24\)
For Region D: \(density_D=\frac{17800}{902}\approx19.73\)

Answer:

Region C
