<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
<em>16 half-cup servings of beans and 4 three oz. servings of shrimp</em>
<h3><u>Explanation and solution;</u></h3>
Let x = number of half-cup servings of beans
Let y = number of 3 oz. servings of shrimp
We will have 2 equations, one for carbs and one for calories
7x + 9y = 148
30x + 190y = 1240
30(7x + 9y) = 30(148)
-7(30x + 190y) = -7(1240)
210x + 270y = 4440
-210x - 1330y = -8680
-1060y = -4240
y = 4
7x + 9y = 148
7x + 9(4) = 148
7x + 36 = 148
7x = 112
x = 16
Hence; X = 16 and Y= 4
16 half-cup servings of beans and 4, 3 oz. servings of shrimp
The correct answer is high rates of evaporation.
There are lots of minerals and salts found in the ocean. Out of which the main component is sodium chloride. There are many of the ocean where there is less or no rainfall. The evaporation there removes the water from the ocean leaving behind lots of salts because of which the salinity of the ocean increases.
