Question
Over several generations of roof rats, the percentage of small rats began to increase. The smaller rats learned to survive by finding ways to shelter themselves on the ground.
Which pie chart depicts a new population of rats that reflects the adaptation of small rats and depicts the effects to the percentages of the entire rat population?
There are four pie charts A, B, C, D with three slices each. Yellow represents Small Rats, Blue represents Medium Rats and Orange represents Large Rats. Pie chart A in the top left shows a big yellow slice, and small, equal-sized blue and orange slices. Pie chart B in the top right shows equal-sized yellow, blue and orange slices. Pie chart C in the bottom left shows a big blue slice, a small orange slice and a very small yellow slice. Pie chart D in the bottom right shows a big blue slice, a medium yellow slice and a small orange slice.

The scenario describes a population of roof rats where the percentage of small rats is increasing due to their adaptation. Given this information, we would expect the pie chart that reflects the new population to have a larger proportion of small rats represented by the yellow slice.
Let's analyze the pie charts based on your description:
- **Pie chart A**: Shows a big yellow slice (indicating a high proportion of small rats) and small, equal-sized blue and orange slices. This would reflect the increase in the small rat population.
- **Pie chart B**: Shows equal-sized slices for small, medium, and large rats, which does not reflect the increase in small rats.
- **Pie chart C**: Has a big blue slice, a small orange slice, and a very small yellow slice, indicating a decrease in small rats, contrary to the scenario.
- **Pie chart D**: Features a big blue slice, a medium yellow slice, and a small orange slice. While this shows an increase in small rats compared to pie chart C, it does not show an increase as significant as pie chart A.
With this analysis, the pie chart that best reflects the adaptation and increase of small rats in the population is **A**.
