Aquarium 1 will hold 5 small fish for every 10 gallons of water. If there are 200 gallons in the tank, you can sent up a proportion:
5 small fish/10 gallons = x small fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get 
10x = 200 × 5
10x = 1000
x = 100 
100 small fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

Aquarium 2 will hold 8 large fish for every 40 gallons of water. A proportion can also be set up here: 
8 large fish/ 40 gallons = x large fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get: 
40x = 200 × 8 
40x = 1600
x = 40 
40 large fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

the ratio of small fish to large fish:
100 small fish: 40 large fish
(both are divisible for 10, and if you divide both of them by ten you get)
10 small fish: 4 large fish
you can reduce again, since both are divisble by 2
5 small fish: 2 large fish

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D. a plaza mayor surrounded by a grid of streets

How does technology, both past and present, influence society today?​
valentina_108 [34]

Technolgy influenced many variables throughout time, such as imperial expansion, knowledge of the environment, better medical development, and many other things. If we didn't have the technological advancements that we did throughout the ages, the world would be very different from today. Many things could have gone astray and history would be very different. For example, if boats were never invented, immigration and exploration would be almost non-existent, and the Americas wouldn't have been discovered by Europe. Another thing that would have changed is international trade, trading between countries would be impossible without the use of boats unless the countries were connected by land.

Hope this helps :)
