Joe is a scientist who works with the Department of Agriculture. In order to ensure a good harvest, Joe keeps track of various local beetle populations. He catches 590 beetles, marks them, and releases them. Then later, he catches 2,000 beetles, 59 of which are marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the beetle population? ( 11 points if solved)
Will give brainliest, if the answer is correct OR well explaining explanation ( Either Both)

There are 20,000 Beatles in the total population

Step-by-step explanation:

59 Beatles out of the 2,000 are marked (2.95% or 59/2000)

1 / 0.0295 = 33.8983051

That means that the total population is 33.89 times larger than the 590 marked beatles.

33.8983051 x 590 = 20,0000 Beatles total

Approximately 20,000 beetles

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is approximately 20,000 beetles because Joe found 590 beetles and marked them. When he found the other 2,000 beetles, 59 of them were marked. 59 is 10% of 590. Since Joe found 2,000 beetles that must be 10% of some number. To find that number, you must multiply 2,000 by 10. So 2,000 x 10 is 20,000, so there is approximately 20,000 beetles

answer with step-by-step explanation:

a. ∠j is supplementary to ∠k - true:

(opposite angles of a trapezoid are supplementary which means that they add up to 180 degrees)

b. kl is parallel to jm - true:

(opposite sides are parallel to each other in a trapezoid)

c. jk is perpendicular to kl - false:

(clearly, jk does not make a right angle with kl)

d. jk is parallel to lm - false:

(jk and lm are two lines opposite in direction to each other so they cannot be parallel)

e. ∠j is congruent to ∠m - true:

(the angles on each side of the base are congruent)

f. ∠j is congruent to ∠k - false:

(the angles on the same side but opposite side of the base are not congruent)
