Respuesta :

There are about 124.29 acres in this parcel woods

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Western North Carolina Woods have a deer population density of 3.5 deer per acre
  • There are a total of 435 deer

We need to find how many acres are in this parcel of woods

∵ The population density = 3.5 deer per acre

- That means 1 acre for every 3 dears

∵ There are a total of 435 deer

∴ [tex]\frac{3.5}{1}=\frac{435}{x}[/tex] , where x is the number of acres

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 3.5 × x = 1 × 435

∴ 3.5 x = 435

- Divide both sides by 3.5

∴ x = 124.29

There are about 124.29 acres in this parcel woods
