Answer 1

110 I believe is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the total number of turtle nests found during the season.

The 28 turtle nests was 40% of 0.4 of the total. Therefore:

$28=0.4T$

So, to find T, divide both sides by 0.4:

$T=70$

So, the total number of turtle nests the group found during tthe season was 70.

Hence, our answer is A.
