Given:

The solution decreased by \dfrac{9}{8} ounces every hour for 5 hours.

Remaining solution at the end of the experiment = \dfrac{99}{8} ounces.

To find:

The initial amount of solution.

Solution:

Let the initial amount of the solution be x.

The solution decreased by \dfrac{9}{8} ounces every hour for 5 hours.

Total decreased amount  =\dfrac{9}{8}\times 5

                                          =\dfrac{45}{8}

Initial amount = Remining amount + Decreased amount of solution.

x=\dfrac{99}{8}+\dfrac{45}{8}

x=\dfrac{99+45}{8}

x=\dfrac{144}{8}

x=18

Therefore, the initial amount of solution is 18 ounces.

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?
levacccp [35]
Phenotypically and genotypically there are only two different ratios. If you think of a Punett square... 

<span>You could say that a pea plant with the trait for the dominant color green (G) could also carry the recessive trait for yellow (g). So let's say you mate a dominant green, (Gg) with another dominant green, (Gg). You would get 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 2 (gg). </span>

<span>Phenotypically (as in physical traitwise), the ratio is 3:1 because you have 3 green colored peas and one yellow. </span>

<span>Genotypically (as in traitwise), the ratio is 1:2:1, because you have 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 1 (gg). </span>

<span>So although it's random, for any specific trait there are only 4 different outcomes.</span>

What is the difference between menstrual cramps and pms?
mote1985 [20]
Well the first difference is that PMS is mostly a psychological and somewhat physical syndrome. The proof is that the symptoms of PMS are irritability, stress and dysphoria. There is of course a lot of other symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, headache, fatigue, mood swings, and increased emotional sensitivity. The cause of PMS are the changes in levels of estrogen and progesterone. Now, menstrual cramps are physical condition. The symptom is pain in lower abdomen. And the cause is the menstruation itself. So there you have the differences. PMS as its own name says (Premenstrual syndrome) occurs before menstruation, more accurately 5 - 10 days before menstruation which is luteal phase of menstrual cycle. Menstrual cramps can occur several days before menstruation or can occur when menstruation starts, and they slowly disappear as menstruation slowly ends
