The zoo downtown has 9 times as many monkeys as elephants. They have 60 animals all together. How many elephants are there?

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: There’s technically no answer to this question, unless you specify that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants. If the zoo has more than two types of animal then the ratio doesn’t help because there are unknown variables.

However, if we knew that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants, then:

E = number of elephants

M = number of monkeys

M=9E

M + E = 60

9E+E= 60

10E = 60

E = 6

There are 6 elephants (and 54 monkeys).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

e = number of elephants

9 times as many monkeys as elephants

m = 9e

------------------------

60 animals all together

e + m = 60

e + 9e = 60

Combine like terms

10e = 60

Divide both sides by 10

e = 6

34kurt

Answer:

B. The observational study is a cross-sectional study because information is collected at a specific point in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) There are three types of Observational Studies: Case-control, cross-sectional and Cohort.

2) Since the researchers collected information from those 1800 adults at a certain time, then we can call it a cross-sectional study. It does not provide solid results since the research was not done over a period to collect further information. We don't know, for example, much more than what that association deeply mean.

3) If we wonder more, then the researchers would have to track those adults over a given period, i.e. a Cohort would be necessary.

4) Moreover, it's not "retrospective" for virtually every question, always makes us look back somehow, and it does not categorize a kind of observational study.
