Why is the number of prey always more than the number of predators?

If it was the other way around, soon the predators would have eaten all the prey, and would start to die out due to lack of food.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
