Answer and Explanation:

The father had 54% of the body covered by burns, since a little more than half of his body was burned. In addition, to calculate the percentage of body burn, the following values are considered: head, arms and legs - 9% torso front - 18% torso back - 18%. In addition, the father feels little pain in his legs (which had worse burns) because the third degree burn destroys the nerve endings, while the second degree burn only damages these endings promoting intense pain.

The daughter had 9% of her body burned by first degree burns, which corresponds to her lower limbs. These burns involve the skin and the epidermis, for this reason, we can say that the legs are the part of the daughter's body that has compromised hair and epidermis.

Groundwater___?<br> Is recharged by precipitation
Blababa [14]

Answer: Ground water recharge includes recharge as a natural part of the hydrologic cycle and human-induced recharge, either directly through spreading basins or injection wells, or as a consequence of human activities such as irrigation and waste disposal. Artificial recharge with excess surface water or reclaimed wastewater is increasing in many areas, thus becoming a more important component of the hydrologic cycle.

What is an independent variable?
Alexus [3.1K]
The <em>independent </em>variable is the variable that you change and control in your experiment. The <em>dependent</em> variable is the one you don't have control over and is affected by how the independent variable reacts.

For Example:
Let's say you're doing an experiment seeing how different sugars affect the density of cupcakes. The type of sugar you add would be the independent variable, because you are choosing it. The density would be the dependent variable, since it depends on the sugar used.

How do organisms grow​
aalyn [17]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. Organisms grow, but only certain organisms are capable of growing. The meaning of growing is "to get bigger/expand" and the way that multicellular cells grow is by making more cells. Plants also have special tissues called "Meristems" where the growing process happens. Single celled organisms (unicellular organisms) increase their numbers by "dividing" and making more cells like themselves.

I hope that this helps! :3
