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

Calculated values:

- Food percentages (pieces ÷ 300):
- Flock 1: 123/300 = 0.41 = 41.0%
- Flock 2: 99/300 = 0.33 = 33.0%
- Flock 3: 78/300 = 0.26 = 26.0%

- Simulated number of birds (percentage × 30):
- Flock 1: 0.41 × 30 = 12.3 → 12 birds (rounded to nearest whole)
- Flock 2: 0.33 × 30 = 9.9 → 10 birds (rounded)
- Flock 3: 0.26 × 30 = 7.8 → 8 birds (rounded)

These rounded counts (12 + 10 + 8) total 30. If you prefer to keep fractional simulated counts, use 12.3, 9.9, and 7.8 instead.
