(D) Distance traveled by Chase on bike = 5 miles

(T) Time taken by Chase to travel that distance = 25 minutes

D and T are directly related.

Part A (Equation)

Since, D and T are directly related,

⇒ D ∝ T (i.e. D is directly proportion to T)

⇒ D = k × T (using k as constant variation, as suggested in the question)

So the equation that represents the relation between T and D is D = k × T.

Part B (Value and units for k)

When we put the values of T and D in the equation D = k × T, we get:

5 = k × 25

Solving the above equation and moving 25 to the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation

⇒ 5 ÷ 25 = k

⇒ 0.2 = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2

Hence, value of k is 0.2. This is the rate at which Chase drove his bike to school.

Now, to determine the unit of k we will simply put the units of D and T in the equation.

⇒ 5 miles = k × 25 minutes

⇒ 0.2 miles/minute = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2 miles/minute

Hence, the unit for k is miles/minute or miles per minute.

Part C (Time taken to ride 8 miles)

Now, if Chase drives his bike at the same rate every day, i.e. at 0.2 miles/minute, then we need to determine how much time he takes to ride 8 miles. Putting the values of k and D in the equation:

⇒ 8 = 0.2 × T

⇒ T = 40 minutes

So, Chase would take 40 minutes to cover a distance of 8 miles.

What does the ability to build great buildings out of stone tell you about Mayan political power
kumpel [21]

The fact that the Mayans were building great buildings in their period of existence, is a proof that they had a very big political power in the region, and not just political, but also military, economic, cultural power.

Only civilizations that are strong, well organized, and political powerhouses, have been able to build such big structures, because they had the conditions and time for it. For building such big structures, lot of wealth is needed, also lot of workers, and great engineers. The Mayans had it all. They had great engineers, the labor force was provided in general by the slaves, or by the the tribes that they were ruling over, and from all the tributes paid to them by the people they ruled over, they had surplus of wealth, which meant that they can perform such activities without damaging the empire.

People living in the Sahel region in countries such as the Sudan, Chad, and neighboring Ethiopia suffer from undernourishment, d
olganol [36]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Undernourishment

This is defined as being unable to take the required amount of food and nutrients for energy that the body needs per day. This has to have gone on for a year for it to be classified as Undernourishment.

Desertification

This refers to a situation where land that was once fertile looses that fertility and instead begins to become more desert like. This is very prevalant in the Sahel region of Africa and can be caused by droughts and inefficient farming practices.

Food Security

This is defined as the access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times needed to be able to sustain the human body by meeting the minimum amount of recommended energy that the body requires to function.

The Sahel is an area immediately south of the Sahara Desert. It is semi-arid in nature and is prone to prolonged periods of drought.

When this drought occurs it tends to cause soil that was once fertile to begin to turn into a desert like soil due to the soil not getting water for such a prolonged period of time.

When there is a lot of fertile land used for farming lost to desertification then the people in those areas cannot farm and get food needed to survive. This causes Food Security issues because people do not have access to food that they require to survive.

Should this happen and the people there go through Food security crisis, they will become undernourished as they are unable to take the recommended amount of food necessary.
