Answer:

The representative fraction of photo will be 1:3600

Explanation:

Orthophoto is constructed geometrically where there is no distortion unlike maps.

The width of a five lane freeway is 0.2 inches.

Assuming the width of each lane to be 12 feet, then the total width of all the five lanes is 12×5=60 feet

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

So, 60 feet = 60×12= 720 inches

So , we get that 0.2 inches on the orthophoto is 720 inches on the ground.

So, 1 inch on the orthophoto = \frac{720}{0.2}=3600 inches on the ground = 3600 inches.

Thus the scale is 1:3600

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

However a standard method to dertmine how workload effects health is developed and is called Harvard step test.

The Harvard Step Test is a fitness test method devised to measure heart and respiratory fitness. It is done by giving some work load to a person for 5 minutes (normally) and then noting his heart rate afterwards in some intervals.

Formula is;

Fitness Index =  (100 x test duration in sec) / (5.5 x pulse count between 1 and 1.5 mins)

According to speculation and study, what will happen to the global birth rate in about 40 years? (1 point)
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Decline

Explanation:

From the studies that have been done it is expected that the global birth rate will decline after 40 years. There are many reasons for this expectation, some of which are the development of the less developed countries, the people from the villages to move to the cities, more and more people to be out of the poor category, and focusing on careers as the countries develop. Some nations are still expected to have relatively high birthrates, but the majority of the countries will have significant drops in the birth rates, thus the global population will gradually start to slow down its growth, and further in the future stagnate, and probably starting to lower down gradually.
