Answer:
At the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water
Explanation:
we are given the following:
change in tide = 8 inches per hour
1 hour = 8 inches
∴ 6 hours = 8 × 6 = 48 inches
Now, since the length of the ladder is measured in foot, let us convert the rate of tide rising to foot.
12 inches = 1 foot
dividing both sides by 12:
Therefore, after 6 hours, the tide rises by 2 feet.
Next, we are told that the rope ladder at the beginning was 8 feet, hence the length remaining above water after 6 hours of the rising of the tide is calculated as follows:
= 8 feet above water
height of tide = 2 feet = amount submerged in water
∴ length above water = (ladder before rising of the tide) - (amount submerged in water)
length above water = 8 - 2 = 6 feet
Therefore at the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water

Answer:
Because the offspring of a male and female are always going to be xx, xx, xy, or xy.
Explanation:
Remember that men have different reproductive chromesomes than women. Women have 2 x chromesomes(xx) while men have 1 x and 1 y(xy). These are given down to their offspring.
So we can write the this out in a punnet square as(link down below).
After you see the visual, you will find that the genotypes are xx, xx, xy, xy.
As I said above, women have sex chromesomes xx, while men have sex chromesomes xy. When you match the genotypes on the punnet square with the ones we know from men and women, we find that two of them match with men and two match with female.
So with this, we can conclude that 2/4 of offspring will always be male and 2 will be female. And as you well know 2/4 is 1/2 which is 50%.
