Question
What would happen to the number of rabbits and grass plants if the number of foxes increased?
Solution
If the number of foxes increases, it will lead to foxes consuming more rabbits as food, which will lead to a decrease in the number of rabbits. Hence, grass plants will grow denser as there will be fewer rabbits to consume them.
