In science class, the students observed 24 of the 300 frogs from the local aquarium. If 6 of the frogs observed had spots, how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots? *

225 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total population of frogs = 300 frogs.

Observed population of frogs = 24

6 of the 24 observed frogs had spots

Which means , the number of frogs that did not have spots = 24 - 6 = 18 frogs.

We were told to find how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots. We would form a proportion.

If 24 frogs = 18 frogs with no spots

300 frogs = Y

Cross multiply

24Y = 300 × 18

Y = (300 × 18) ÷ 24

Y = 5400 ÷ 24

Y = 225 frogs.

This means out of 300 frogs, 225 frogs do not have spots.

Therefore, the total population that can be predicted to NOT have spots is 225 frogs.

the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots
