Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This problem is all about ratios: how fun!

Let's see what we know:

-68 tracking devices on wolves

In this month, the same of these numbers were documented:

-1,032 wolves were found

-24 of which had tracking devices

To estimate how many wolves are here overall, we should use the power of ratios to determine from the amount of tracking devices that were found.
Since 24 was found and 68 was there overall, we can divide those by each other.

68/24=17/6. Using this ratio, let's multiply it to the 1,032 wolves out right now to determine the overall wolves, which this is B.
