Guesstimate how much total time do Americans spend driving in one year? Express the answer in hours, years and lifetimes.

Answer:

1,460 hours per year.

113,880 hours in a lifetime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Let's assume that on an average day Americans drive 4 hours a day. This includes going and coming from work as well as any groceries they might need to do. Since there are 365 days in a year we can multiply this by the hours a day driven.

365*4 = 1,460

We can "guesstimate" that on average an American drives 1,460 hours per year.

Based on my research the average lifetime of an American is 78 years old. We can now multiply this by the number of hours driven in a year to have an idea of the number of hours driven in a lifetime.

1,460*78 = 113,880

On average we "guesstimate" that an American drives 113,880 hours in a lifetime.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

In a given population, a few individuals may, by random chance, leave behind more descendants than other individuals. Thus, the
Reika [66]

Answer: it is called genetic drift

Step-by-step explanation:

To explain this it is important to know the meanings of some concepts like allelles which is one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.  So in other words the concept that the paragraph is referring is about the descendancy that can be traced by these alleles.

In other words, the paragrapgh states that some individuals when having more children leave more genetic load in subsequent generations and this subsequent load is illustratin in part what is called genetic drift which is many times a random effect on biological populations. Its effect is to remove genetic variation from a population of living organisms. In natural populations there are a number of forces acting. There are forces which add heritable variation to the population, such as mutation and recombination.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Have them 4 by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you she but 5 chairs in a row, then 3 on the side of the chairs. That would create a backward "L" type of shape.

For example, (The "o" is a chair)

OOOOO

O

O

O

As you see the the top are the 5 chairs, then side are are the 4 chairs.

Then, you will do the exact same thing  but on the opposite side.

Here is the next example.

OOOOOO

O            O

O            O

O            O

OOOOOO

Basically, arranging the chairs 4x5, it would make a rectangle.
