Students found that a box with sides 4cm, 4cm, and 5 cm held 192 skittles. - what is the volume of the box? - what is the ratio of skittles to the volume of the box (in cm 3 )? - what is the volume of each skittle?

Volume = 80 cm³

Ratio = 24:5  

Volume of each skittle = 0.411 cm³/skittle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sides of the boxes = 4 cm , 4 cm and 5 cm

Total Skittles hold = 192 skittles

To Find:

Volume = ?

Ratio of skittles to volume = ?

Volume of each skittle = ?

Solution:

Volume of a box is given by the formula

Volume = Length * width * Height

Putting in the values

Volume = 4 * 4 * 5

             = 80 cm³

Now to find Ratio of skittles to Volume of box which is

Skittles : Volume  = 192 : 80

As 192 and 80 both are divisible by 8 so dividing them by 8

                              =

                               = 24:5

Which is the required ratio

Now we have to find volume of each skittle so it could be found out by dividing total volume with total skittles

So

Volume of each skittle

Putting in the values gives

it becomes

                                             = 0.411 cm³/skittle

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
