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

f the levels of the crime scene are defined as follows: Level 1: Overall scene security for restriction of general public Level
sergey [27]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The restriction for general public level, it all depends on the nature of the crime but anyone that is not authorised won't be allowed into the crime scene to protect the validity of fresh evidence. In most cases during which such happens, investigations are still be carried out, the police and CSI experts won't want public to have access including media, so the line drawn for restriction for general public is also were the media would be found to protect the dignity of the crime scene pending all investigations has been carried out.
