For a research study, 64 marmots were tagged and set free. Later, the researchers
returned to the site and found 36 tagged marmots out of the 900 marmots they counted. To
the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the marmot population?

Answer :

Answer:

1067

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{36}{64} = \frac{600}{ m} [/tex]

m=total amount of marmots

cross multiplication-

36×M = 64×600

[tex] \frac{64 \times 600}{36} [/tex]

=1066.666667

=1067 marmots
