Answer: A.
The amount of violence has been decreasing, so few people have been killed.
Explanation:
The "War on Drugs" does indeed see the U.S. government spending more than $500 million a year as they raid supply chains and arrest traffickers to stem the flow of drugs into the U.S.
Most of the violence does occur near the U.S.-Mexico border as gangs fight to control smuggling routes and U.S. agents attempt to stop them along with police officer, most of whom are dedicated to ending drug smuggling.
The violence however has not been decreasing. Indeed, cartels have become more violent and with the rise of new cartels like the New Jalisco cartel, the violence has spread.
Answer:
The BOD5 for this sample is 5 mg/L
Explanation:
The BOD5 takes into consideration the difference between the initial DO and the final DO divided by the fraction of the sample tested in a 300 mL BOD flask. The problem states that the sample was directly placed in a BOD bottle so we assume that the volume used was 300 mL of the water sample. The fraction of water is 1 (300/300).
BOD5 = (10-5)/1
BOD 5 = 5 mg/L
