Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 2nd Generation**
* Divide each flock's total pieces of food by 300, the total number of pieces of food eaten.
** Multiply the food percentage for each flock by the total number of birds (30).

Answer 1

Flock X:
- Food percentage = 123 / 300 = 0.41 = 41%
- Simulated birds = 41% × 30 = 12.3

Flock Y:
- Food percentage = 99 / 300 = 0.33 = 33%
- Simulated birds = 33% × 30 = 9.9

Flock Z:
- Food percentage = 78 / 300 = 0.26 = 26%
- Simulated birds = 26% × 30 = 7.8

(Percentages sum to 100%; simulated birds sum to 30.0. Round simulated bird counts only if you must use whole birds.)
