question:Dr. Vega is a veterinary specialist who is studying the coat colors and patterns of a special breed of cats. She knows that in a litter of 12 kittens, 4 have solid black coats, 3 have striped tabby patterns, and the remaining kittens have spotted patterns. Each solid black kitten has 2 unique genetic markers associated with its color, each striped tabby kitten has 3 unique genetic markers, and each spotted kitten has 4 unique genetic markers. How many total genetic markers are present in the entire litter of kittens based on their coat colors?
answer:To find the total number of genetic markers present in the entire litter, we need to calculate the number of markers for each group of kittens based on their coat patterns and then sum them up.1. Calculate the number of spotted kittens: - Total kittens = 12 - Solid black kittens = 4 - Striped tabby kittens = 3 - Spotted kittens = Total kittens - Solid black kittens - Striped tabby kittens - Spotted kittens = 12 - 4 - 3 = 52. Calculate the genetic markers for each type of kitten: - Solid black kittens have 2 unique genetic markers each. - Striped tabby kittens have 3 unique genetic markers each. - Spotted kittens have 4 unique genetic markers each.3. Calculate the total genetic markers for each group: - Total markers for solid black kittens = Number of solid black kittens × Markers per solid black kitten - Total markers for solid black kittens = 4 × 2 = 8 - Total markers for striped tabby kittens = Number of striped tabby kittens × Markers per striped tabby kitten - Total markers for striped tabby kittens = 3 × 3 = 9 - Total markers for spotted kittens = Number of spotted kittens × Markers per spotted kitten - Total markers for spotted kittens = 5 × 4 = 204. Sum all the genetic markers: - Total genetic markers = Markers for solid black kittens + Markers for striped tabby kittens + Markers for spotted kittens - Total genetic markers = 8 + 9 + 20 = 37Therefore, the total number of genetic markers present in the entire litter is 37.# 37
question:Jamie is a quiet friend who loves listening to their friend Alex's imaginative stories. One day, Alex tells Jamie about an adventure where they need to collect magical gems to unlock new quests. Jamie suggests they start by collecting gems from different enchanted forests. If Alex collects 8 gems from the Whispering Woods on Monday, 5 gems from the Glimmering Grove on Tuesday, and 12 gems from the Shimmering Shadows on Wednesday, how many more gems do they need to collect to reach a total of 40 gems for their next big quest?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine how many more gems Alex needs to collect to reach a total of 40 gems, given the number of gems collected each day.1. Calculate the Total Gems Collected So Far: First, we add up the gems collected on each day: [ text{Gems from Whispering Woods on Monday} = 8 ] [ text{Gems from Glimmering Grove on Tuesday} = 5 ] [ text{Gems from Shimmering Shadows on Wednesday} = 12 ] Now, sum these amounts: [ 8 + 5 + 12 = 25 ] Thus, Alex has collected a total of 25 gems so far.2. Determine How Many More Gems Are Needed: Alex needs a total of 40 gems to complete the quest. Subtract the number of gems collected from the total needed: [ 40 - 25 = 15 ] Therefore, Alex needs to collect 15 more gems.The solution concludes that Alex needs to collect an additional 15 gems. # 15
question:Sarah is a high school student who is preparing for her debate on "Local Sustainability vs Global Food Trade." For her preparation, she decides to research the local produce market. She finds that a local farm sells 150 pounds of apples every week. If the farm increases its apple production by 20% to support local sustainability efforts, how many pounds of apples will the farm sell each week? Additionally, if Sarah discovers that importing apples from another country costs 2 per pound and the local farm sells apples for 1.50 per pound, how much more will it cost to import 200 pounds of apples instead of buying them locally?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to address two questions: how many pounds of apples the farm will sell after increasing production by 20%, and the cost difference between importing apples and buying them locally.Step 1: Calculate the new production of apples after the 20% increase.The current production is 150 pounds of apples per week. The farm plans to increase this by 20%. To find the increased amount:[ text{Increase} = 150 times 0.20 = 30 text{ pounds} ]Add this increase to the original production to find the new weekly production:[ text{New production} = 150 + 30 = 180 text{ pounds} ]Step 2: Calculate the cost difference for 200 pounds of apples.- Cost of importing 200 pounds of apples:The cost of importing apples is 2 per pound. Therefore, the total cost for 200 pounds is:[ text{Cost of imported apples} = 200 times 2 = 400 text{ dollars} ]- Cost of buying 200 pounds of apples locally:The local cost is 1.50 per pound. The total cost for 200 pounds is:[ text{Cost of local apples} = 200 times 1.50 = 300 text{ dollars} ]- Difference in cost:The difference between the cost of importing and buying locally is:[ text{Cost difference} = 400 - 300 = 100 text{ dollars} ]#180 pounds, 100
question:The director of a major non-profit organization is planning a series of media campaigns to raise awareness about their cause. They have a budget of 12,000 for the campaign. The director decides to split the budget between three main platforms: television, social media, and radio. They allocate 50% of the total budget to television, 30% to social media, and the remaining amount to radio. How much money will be allocated to each platform?
answer:To solve the problem, we need to allocate the budget of 12,000 among the three platforms: television, social media, and radio, based on the given percentages.1. Allocation for Television: - The director decides to allocate 50% of the total budget to television. - Calculate 50% of 12,000: [ text{Television Allocation} = 0.50 times 12,000 = 6,000 ]2. Allocation for Social Media: - The director decides to allocate 30% of the total budget to social media. - Calculate 30% of 12,000: [ text{Social Media Allocation} = 0.30 times 12,000 = 3,600 ]3. Allocation for Radio: - The remaining amount of the budget will be allocated to radio. - Calculate the remaining percentage for radio: [ text{Radio Allocation} = 100% - 50% - 30% = 20% ] - Calculate 20% of 12,000: [ text{Radio Allocation} = 0.20 times 12,000 = 2,400 ]Thus, the amounts allocated to each platform are:- Television: 6,000- Social Media: 3,600- Radio: 2,400# Television: 6,000, Social Media: 3,600, Radio: 2,400
