The minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.
<h3>How to find the Smallest Integer?</h3>
Let the five numbers be a,b,c,d and e.
Let s be an integer
Comparison 1:
a and b will be compared first and the smaller number of them will be equal to s
Comparison 2:
Now, a smaller number between a and b that is s will be compared with c. Similarly, the smaller number of both numbers will be taken as s in the next comparison.
Comparison 3:
Likewise, s and d will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison
Comparison 4:
Likewise, s and e will be compared and a smaller number will be taken as s for the next comparison.
After 4th comparison, s will be equal to smallest number of 5 integers.
Thus;
Total comparisons = 4
Therefore, the minimum number of comparisons to find the smallest number from 5 integers is 4.

Is there a graph or a picture to go along with it? it would be easier for me to answer :)
Asteroid: is a large rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun. Meteoroid: is a much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the Sun, therefore I'd say B.
The correct answer is - the first, black layer.
If the situation is that the rock layers have not been disturbed, and their alignment is in order as the periods in which they have been on the top, before being covered with new sediments, than the oldest fossils will be at the bottom layers, will the newest in the top layers.
In this situation, we know that the mollusks have evolved before the arthropods, and since the arthropods are found in the second, grey layer, the mollusks will be found in the layer bellow them, the first, black, layer.
