*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt 
     in medium-sized packs                      - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
     female and hunt in medium-sized
     packs                                                  - 15%


*Solution

<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>

1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then, 

a. The number of female wolves is

    (55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves

b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

    (20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves

    Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves. 

c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

    (15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves

2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is, 
 
    55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting  = 40 female wolves not
                                                in medium-sized packs         hunting in medium
                                                                                              sized packs

3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed. 

For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of 
 
                                       <span> <u> 40  </u>
</span>                                        100

and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,

                                     <span><u> 40/10  </u>
</span>                                     100/10

                                       <span><u>  4   </u>
</span>                                        10

When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get, 

                                       <span><u>  4   </u>   x    100%     = 40%
</span>                                        10

Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.

Write components of xylem and phylem ?
aleksandrvk [35]
  • Xylem contains tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibre.
  1. Tracheids: They are elongated, tubular dead cells with tapering end walls.
  2. Vessels: These are also known as trachea. They are elongated, tubular dead cells. They are joined to each other by end to end forming a continuous pipe. The cells are thick and lignified.
  3. Xylem parenchyma: They are also called wood parenchyma. This is the only living tissue of xylem.
  4. Xylem fibre: They are dead cells with thick walled fibre.

  • Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
  1. Sieve tubes: These are elongated, tubular living cells arranged in a row, with their perforated end walls forming a sieve. They are non-nucleated. Their protoplasm are inter-connected through sieve plates. They possess vacuoles.
  2. Companion cell: They are elongated, lens-shaped cells containing dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. These cells maintain connection with sieve cells through pits.
  3. Phloem parenchyma: They are living thin walled parenchyma cells.
  4. Phloem fibre: They are also known as bast fibre. They are elongated fibre like sclerenchymatous dead cells with thick walls containing pits and interlocked ends. Phloem fibre are the only dead cells in phloem.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
