To measure Monarch butterfly migration, scientist tag and release 100 butterflies in
Kansas and Missouri before traveling to
Mexico. While in Mexico, the same
scientist captured another 100 butterflies
of which 15 are tagged. Based on this
information, how many butterflies would
you predict start in Kansas and Missouri
and migrate to Mexico?

the answer is 667.

100/x = 15/100

it’s a proportion so you cross multiply. after cross multiplying you get 15x = 10,000. divided both sides by 15 and you get x = 66.6 (continuation of the 6). since it’s repeating, round it and you get 667.

by the way this is actually one of my homework questions for today ;)
