I got x=-6
I'm not sure if that's right
(WILL GIVE BRAINLIST) A student investigated the effect of root space on plant growth. The student grew two groups of plants of
the same variety. Both groups received the same amount of water and sunlight and grew in the same type of soil. The plants in Group A were grown in cube-shaped containers that were 3 centimeters deep. The plants in Group B were grown in cube-shaped containers that were 10 centimeters deep. The table shows the student's observations (picture provided). What was the effect of root space on plant growth based on the student's investigation? Use the data from the table to support your answer. Explain how you would know whether this effect was likely due to environmental or genetic factors.

Answer:
a. Approximately 1,003 weasels, 3,345 mice and 16,729 wheat plants per one hawk are in the ecosystem
Explanation:
The percentage of the weasel population eaten by a hawk = 30%
The percentage of the mouse population eaten by a weasel = 30%
The percentage of the wheat plants population eaten by a mice = 20%
a. One hawk needs 330 kJ of energy per day, which gives 330 kJ × 365 = 120,450 kJ per year
Let 'x' represent the number of weasels to support one hawk, we have;
0.3 × x = 120,450 kJ/year/(400 kJ) = 301.125
x = 301.125/0.3 = 1,003.75
The number of weasels required to support one hawk per year ≈ 1,003 weasels
The total weasels ≈ 1,003
ii) The number of mice needed, y = x/0.3 = 1,003.75/0.3 = 3,345.8
The total mice, y ≈ 3,345 mice
iii) The number of wheat flower needed, z = y/0.2
∴ The number of wheat flower needed, z = 3,345.8/0.2 ≈ 16,729.1
The total wheat plants ≈ 16,729.
