There are 40⋅57 chickens spread across 16⋅55 square miles of land. Find the average number of chickens per square mile. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

what does this mean: 40⋅57?

Are you saying forty times fifty seven?

If so, 40 x 57 = 2280 chickens

16⋅55 square miles

Same assumption of multiplication:

16 x 55 = 880 sq miles

2280/880 = 1140/440 = 570/220 = 285/110 = 57/22 = 2.6 chickens per sq mile
