Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 3rd 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: 147/300 = 0.49 → 49% → 0.49×30 = 14.7 ≈ 15 birds
Flock Y: 93/300 = 0.31 → 31% → 0.31×30 = 9.3 ≈ 9 birds
Flock Z: 60/300 = 0.20 → 20% → 0.20×30 = 6.0 = 6 birds

(When rounded to whole birds the simulated 3rd-generation counts are X = 15, Y = 9, Z = 6, total = 30.)
