Josefina lives near a duck pond. She wants to know how many ducks use the pond. She places leg bands on 12 ducks one day. A week later, she examines 20 ducks and finds that 3 of them have leg bands. About how many ducks use the pond? 80 29 160 50

Respuesta :

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

This is calculated as:

(Number of ducks with bands × Number of examined ducks)/ Number of ducks found with leg band

= Number of ducks with bands = 12 ducks

Number of examined ducks = 20 ducks

Number of ducks found with leg band = 3 ducks

Hence:

12 × 20/3

= 240/3

= 80 ducks

Therefore, 80 ducks used the ponds
