Answer:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be represented as:

Tema = x

Juma = y

Abdul = z

From the question, we are told that:

Juma is twice as old as Abdul

y = 2z

z = y/2

= 0.5y

And Juma is a half times as old as Tema.

y = 1/2x

y = 0.5x

x = y/0.5

x = 2y

Hence,

x + y + z = 65

2y + y + 2y = 65

= 5y = 65

y = 65/5

y = 13 years

Since y = Zuma's age, Zuma is 13 years old

From the above question

Since 2y = z

y = 13

2 × 13 = z

z = 26

Since z = Abdul's age, Abdul is 26 years old

From the above question

x = 2y

y = 13 years

x = 2 × 13 years

x = 26 years.

Since x = Tema's age

Tema is 26 years.

Therefore, their present ages are:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

Population management is essential for development justify the statement​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Population management is important due to the fact that humans rely on different types of animals for food that if we populate to much that we could all run out of food because say if there are 30 humans and 5 pigs even if they both multiply there well still not be enough in the long run. Which throws the balance over nature off. So if we keep on populating we are practically killing are selves, population management is essential if you do not want the human race to die out.

"A researcher wants to determine if consuming oatmeal regularly reduces the level of bad cholesterol. She finds 120 adults over
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

An experimental research and particularly a quasi experimental study.

Step-by-step explanation:

An <em>experimental research</em> is one where the investigator study the effects from random samples he got and tested. the investigator manipulates parameters to considers some underlying factors in order to arrive at a conclusion. it is usually used to investigate relationships between variable and make comparison. In this case the investigator is conducting a research on how the consumption of oatmeal in adults reduces the level of bad cholesterol,  he measures and study the level of bad cholesterol for 6months and then compare their results.

for example, I can conduct an extensive experimental study on the long term effects of exhaust fumes on the passengers (particularly adults between the ages of 25-50) of public transport in Nigeria. this will be studied and their effects will be compared and a conclusion will be reached on the exposure and the non exposure as the case maybe. most underlying conditions of experimental study are under the direct control of the researcher of the investigator. there are three different types of experimental research ; Pre-experimental study, quasi-experimental study and true-experimental study.
