Respuesta :

Answer:

b) there are 56 deer in 1000 acres of area.

Explanation:

If a person has 1000 aces of land and a local wildlife biologist tell him that on every 18 acres only one deer is present so in 1000 acres there are 56 deer are present.

calculation;

1 deer ------ 18 acres

x --------- 1000 acres

by cross multiplication, we get

18 x = 1000

both side divided by 18, we get

x = 55.5

by rounding off we get

x = 56
