Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________

V = d / t  = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .

Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]:  45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
                                                 "45 m/min."
________________________________________________________

Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.

So, we need to convert:

45 mi.  to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
 1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________

1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________

So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
 1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_  m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of  "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
  ____________________________________________________
    and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)]  /  [(3)*(3.2)]   m  = (5280 / 9.6) m  =  550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have:  550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.

However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________

So, we convert:   550 m / min to:   "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) =  (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
                                                                                    = 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
                                                                 which is:  None of the above.
______________________________________________________
                     Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.

Which part of the nervouds system consists of the brain and spinal cord:
Damm [24]

Answer:

c. CNS

Explanation:

The Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for receiving and transmitting information throughout the body. We can define it with the command center that coordinates the activities of the body.  It consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are protected by the skull and spine respectively.

Both structures are reinforced by three connective blades, called meninges. They are: dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater. Between the last two there is a fluid that is responsible for the nutrition of the CNS and the minimization of possible trauma caused by mechanical shocks.

In an experiment, shara feeds her rat different brands of rat food (brands x, y, and z) each for 2 weeks and weighs the rat over
Advocard [28]

The variables are defined as the factors in an experiment, which are liable to change. The variable can be dependent or independent. The Independent variable is a variable, which is unaffected by the changes in the other variables.

In this case, the brand of the food Shara feeds to the rats is independent factor, but it is changes in the system, so, it is an independent variable.

The effect on the weight of the rat is dependent on the brand of food they are consuming. So, the weight of rats is dependent variable.
