Researchers estimate that there are 0.53 penguin

nests per square meter of poop. Each nest represents

at least 2 penguins. What is the combined minimum

penguin population on the islands in the chart?

There would be minimum 1 penguin per square meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The estimated number of penguin nests per square meter of poop = 0.53

Also, the minimum number of penguins in each nests = 2,

Hence,

The minimum penguin population per square meter of poop = nests per square meter * minimum number of penguins in each nest

= 0.53 * 2

= 1.06

≈ 1
