Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

3 infected           x infected

------------------ = ----------------

50 sampled     6750 population

Using cross products

3*6750 = 50x

Divide each side by 50

3*6750/50 = x

405

Answer:

Around 405 elk should be infected with the parasite.

Step-by-step explanation:

6,750/50=135

135 * 3 = 405

hope this helps :)
