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

Here are the calculations.

1) Food percentages (pieces ÷ 300):
- 147 ÷ 300 = 0.49 = 49%
- 93 ÷ 300 = 0.31 = 31%
- 60 ÷ 300 = 0.20 = 20%

2) Simulated number of birds (percentage × 30):
- 0.49 × 30 = 14.7 → round to 15 birds
- 0.31 × 30 = 9.3 → round to 9 birds
- 0.20 × 30 = 6.0 → 6 birds

Final simulated flock sizes: 15, 9, 6 (sums to 30).
