<u>Answer:</u>

The 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects in the city of Austin

<u>Solution:</u>

The population of the bats increases to 2 million in the city of Austin

We have to find about how many insects would they consume?

Now, according to given information  

1.5 million bats ⇒ 15 tons of insects  

Now, 2 million bats ⇒ x tons of insects

Then by chris cross method  

1.5 \times x = 15 \times 2

x \times \frac{15}{10}=15 \times 2

\begin{array}{l}{x \times 15=15 \times 2 \times 10} \\\\ {x=2 \times 10=20}\end{array}

Hence, the 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects.

Bring the fraction a/a-4 to a denominator of 16-a^2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a / (a - 4) = a(a + 4) / ((a - 4)(a + 4)) = (a^2 + 4a) / (a^2 - 16) = -(a^2 + 4a) / (16 - a^2)

What is the volume of this rectangular prism?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The volume of this rectangular prism is D. 60cm^{3}.    

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the volume of a rectangular prism, we need to multiply the length by the width, and then multiply their product by the height of the prism. We can write what I said above as a formula...

V = l × w × h    

(In the formula above "V" is the volume, "l" is the length, "w" is the width, and "h" is the height).

Now we just substitute the values into the formula and we get...

V = l × w × h    

V = 4cm × 3cm × 5cm

V = 60cm^{3}

Therefore, the volume of this rectangular prism is D. 60cm^{3}.

Mr welor leaves work at 8:40 he leaves work 50 minutes before he arrives what time does he arrive
MakcuM [25]
He arrives at 9:30 because if you take 8:40 (when dealing with time I like to think of it as a whole number so 8:40 would become 840) then just add 50 minutes to 8:40 (or 840+50 which equals 890 also know as 9:30 because you have to subtract 60 from 90 (because 60 is the limit in time (well technically 59 is)) then add one to 8 like so, which equals 9:30 Enjoy!=)
