There are more than 1/4 million species of beetle. Assume the average length of a beetle is 1cm and the average walking speed is

10 cm per second. These beetles walk up a gang-plank that is 5 meters long onto an ark. They do this in pairs, side by side, one male and one female from each species. The pairs of beetles are spaced 5 cm apart. How many hours will it take for 1/4 million species of beetles to embark onto the ark once the first pair starts up the gangplank?

Answer:

It will take approximately 41.68 hours for 1/4 million species of beetles to embark onto the ark once the first pair starts up the gangplank.

Explanation:

The length of the column will be 250000\times 6cm (if there's 5 cm between them, not 5 cm from center to center, that wasn't clarified)

L = 1500000 cm

At 10 cm/sec, it will take 150000 seconds to pass the bottom of the gang-plank  + \frac{500}{10} seconds for them to go up the gang-plank.

150050 seconds total

t = \frac{15005}{6}minutes

t =\frac{3001}{72} hours

t =~ 41.68 hours

Since, it will take approximately 41.68 hours for 1/4 million species of beetles to embark onto the ark once the first pair starts up the gangplank.

A benzoyl peroxide agent

Benzoyl peroxide is a topical agent that has both antibacterial and comedolytic properties. It is the topical agent most effective in reducing the P. acnes population.
-Bacterial resistance does not develop to benzoyl peroxide. The irritant effect of the drug also causes vasodilation and increased blood flow, which may hasten resolution of the inflammatory lesions.
- Although Accutane, low-dose tetracycline, and Retin-A are often used to treat severe acne, these drugs should not be given to those who are pregnant because they can affect the development of the fetus.
