Sagot :

Answer:



Fraction:     5400/5625
Decimal Number:     0.96
Percentage:     96%                                

Explantion: There are a total of 5625 elks in the park. 225 of those are marked.

5625 - 225 = 5400

So, 5400 elks are not marked yet.

5400/5626 = 0.96 = 96%

0.96 is close to 1 so we could say that it is very likely that the next elk caught will be unmarked.
