A researcher interested in the disappearance of fallen leaves in a deciduous forest carried out a field experiment that lasted nearly a year. She collected all the leaves from 100 plots scattered throughout the forest. She measured the amount of leaves present in November, May and August. The percentages reflect the number of leaves found, using the November values as 100 percent.

Question

I need a completed table by calculating the missing percentages and a constructed line graph for the ash and elm leaves. 

### Disappearance of Fallen Leaves in a Deciduous Forest A researcher interested in the disappearance of fallen leaves in a deciduous forest carried out a field experiment that lasted nearly a year. She collected all the leaves from 100 plots scattered throughout the forest. She measured the amount of leaves present in November, May, and August. The percentages reflect the number of leaves found, using the November values as 100 percent. #### Table 2: Leaf Collection Data | Collection Date | Ash | Beech | Elm | Hazel | Oak | Willow | |-----------------|-------|--------|-------|-------|-------|--------| | **November** | 4271g <br> 100% | 3220g <br> 100% | 3481g <br> 100% | 1723g <br> 100% | 5317g <br> 100% | 3430g <br> 100% | | **May** | 2431g <br> 57% | 3190g <br> 91% | 1739g <br> % | 501g <br> % | 4401g <br> 83% | 1201g <br> 35% | | **August** | 1376g <br> 32% | 2285g <br> 71% | 35g <br> % | 62g <br> % | 1759g <br> 33% | 4g <br> 0.1% | **Tasks:** 1. Complete the table by calculating the missing percentages. 2. Construct a line graph for the ash and elm leaves. --- #### Step 1: Calculating the Missing Percentages To calculate the missing percentages for elm and hazel leaves in May and August, use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Weight in given month}}{\text{Weight in November}} \right) \times 100 \] 1. **Elm**: - **May**: \[ \left( \frac{1739g}{3481g} \right) \times 100 = 50% \] - **August**: \[ \left( \frac{35g}{3481g} \
