Cervantes · Answer 1

Answer D; 216, because if 36 is only 1/6 of the population, then multiply 36 by 6 and you have 6/6 or one whole of the population which is 216 because 36x6=216.

Heidy Griffith · Answer 2

The answer is 186 or 216

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you multiply 36 times 6 you get an answer in the hundreds

So the answer is 186
