Question

read the problem. paleo museum has 60 dinosaur fossils. 60% of the dinosaurs were herbivores, so they only ate plants. how many of the dinosaur fossils at paleo museum are of herbivores? pick the model that represents the problem. 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 0 60? 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 0? 60 how many of the dinosaur fossils at paleo museum are of herbivores? fossils

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and percentage

Total fossils: $N=60$, Herbivore %: $p=60\%=0.6$

Step2: Calculate herbivore count

$60 \times 0.6 = 36$

Step3: Match correct model

The pink model has total 60 at 100%, so? at 60% matches our problem.

Answer:

1. Correct model: The pink (bottom) bar model
2. Number of herbivore fossils: 36 fossils
