An ecologist wants to measure the population of mule deer in the Rocky Mountains. Examine the diagram, which shows the number of mule deer in a specific range of the Rocky Mountains.

Part A: Assuming the mule deer population is proportional, how many mule deer can the ecologist expect to inhabit the area of 2512
square miles?

Part B: What does the point (7,212)
represent in this situation?

Select two answers: one for Part A and one for Part B.

B: There are 7
mule deer in every square mile of land, so 212⋅7
will calculate the number of mule deer in the area of 212
square miles.

B: There are 7 mule deer in every square mile of land, so 212⋅7
will calculate the number of mule deer in the area of 2 and 1 half square miles.

B: There are 212
mule deer living in the area of 7
square miles.

B: There are 2 and 1 half mule deer living in the area of 7 square miles.

A: There are approximately 71
mule deer in the 2512
square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

A: There are approximately 71 mule deer in the 25 and 1 half square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

B: There are 2
mule deer habitats; one is 212
square miles and one is 7
square miles.

B: There are 2 mule deer habitats; one is 2 and 1 half square miles and one is 7 square miles.

A: There are approximately 17
mule deer in the 2512
square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

A: There are approximately 17 mule deer in the 25 and 1 half square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

B: There are 7
mule deer living in the area of 212
square miles.

B: There are 7 mule deer living in the area of 2 and 1 half square miles.

A: There are approximately 63
mule deer in the 2512
square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

A: There are approximately 63 mule deer in the 25 and 1 half square miles of the Rocky Mountains.

A: There are approximately 19
mule deer in the 2512
square miles of the Rocky Mountains.
