1. Given: The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square meters.

To find: The total population size of the frogs in the pond.

Method: Using unitary method of proportions

Solution:

Let p be the density of the frogs present per square meter.

Let A denote the total area of the pond.

∴ p = 12 frogs/m² and A = 370 m²

The total number of frogs in the pond is given by,

$$p \times A = 12 \times 370 = 4440$$

Therefore, there are 4440 frogs in the pond.
