Question

the table shows the number of resident geese living in four different ponds. which pond has the greatest population density of resident geese?

	population of geese	area (acres)
pond b	175	1.3
pond c	192	1.5
pond d	204	2.0

o pond a
o pond b
o pond c
o pond d

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate density for Pond A

Density = $\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Area}}$, so for Pond A, density = $\frac{88}{1.1}=80$ geese per acre.

Step2: Calculate density for Pond B

For Pond B, density = $\frac{175}{1.3}\approx134.62$ geese per acre.

Step3: Calculate density for Pond C

For Pond C, density = $\frac{192}{1.5} = 128$ geese per acre.

Step4: Calculate density for Pond D

For Pond D, density = $\frac{204}{2.0}=102$ geese per acre.

Step5: Compare densities

$134.62>128 > 102>80$.

Answer:

Pond B
