Overfishing occurs when more fish are removed from an ecosystem than can be maintained by the population,
Overfishing can lead to significant population declines in economically important species. The passage describes
additional impacts of overfishing on populations.

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?
A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next
generation.
B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.
C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four
generations of selection,
D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5
pounds.
The answer is -1975. Hope I was able to help
There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15
Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.
The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think.
The semi right answer is B <<<<----
If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.
1) let both have x ,
so putting in eqn ;
4x+0.50 = 9x-3
5x=2.50
x=0.50
therefore both have 50 p in the beginning !!
2) let the number be x
so in eqn;
(x+18)/2=5x
x+18=10x
9x=18
x=2
so the number must be 2 !!
if you have still any problem, comment !!
