Laws have been instituted in Florida to help save the manatee. To establish the number of manatees in Florida, manatees were tagged. A new sample was taken later, and among the manatees in the sample, were tagged. Approximate the number of manatees in Florida.

It think this should be the complete question: Laws have been instituted in Florida to help save the manatee.To establish the number of manatees in Florida, 150 manatees were tagged. A new sample was taken later, and among the 40 manatees in the sample, 3 were tagged. Approximate the number of manatees in Florida.

The approximate number of manatees in Florida is 2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the formula

N= (C*R)/M

Where N is the toal estimated population

C is the total first capture

R is the total recapture after the first

M is the total tagged from recapture

Thus, we have:

N = (150*40)/3

N = 6000/3

N= 2,000

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!
