Question

an area has 2400kg of food. the leopards in that area require 25kg. what is the leopards carrying capacity? 0.0004 leopards 2,375 leopards 96 leopards 60,000 leopards

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the carrying capacity (number of leopards), we divide the total food available by the food required per leopard. The formula is: \( \text{Number of leopards} = \frac{\text{Total food}}{\text{Food per leopard}} \)

Step2: Substitute the values

Total food = 2400 kg, Food per leopard = 25 kg. So, \( \text{Number of leopards} = \frac{2400}{25} \)

Step3: Perform the division

\( \frac{2400}{25} = 96 \)

Answer:

C. 96 leopards
