Use symbolic Math symbolic representation:
1. The # of birds in a population equals the nbr of females plus the # of males.
F + M = T
F = females
M = males
T = total
OOOh - that one stumped me. Thanks.
Let's represent the number of birds in the population as a variable, let's say 'B'.
Now, let's represent the number of females in the population as the variable 'F' and the number of males as the variable 'M'.
According to the given statement, the number of birds in the population is equal to the number of females plus the number of males.
So, we can write this statement in symbolic math representation as:
B = F + M
