Eleanor collected 13 snails in a 25 cm x25 cm quadrat. What is the density of the snail population in a I m2 area? * 1 point 13 52 208 832

208

Explanation:

It is given that Eleanor have collected 13 snails in a quadrat of 25 cm x 25 cm

Therefore,

area of the quadrat = 25 cm x 25 cm

                                = 0.25 m x 0.25 m

                                = 0.0652

We are required to find the snail population density in an area of  1 .

Therefore,

= 16 quadrat

Therefore in 1 quadrat = 13 snails

So, in 16 quadrats = 13 x 16

                              = 208 snails.

Thus, the density of snail population in an area of 1 is  208 snails.
