Answer:
25%
Explanation:
According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.
This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:
30/120 × 100
= 1/4 × 100
= 100/4
= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.
Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
