Cutting down trees leads to deforestation, which in turn results in an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Trees serve as natural carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass. When trees are cut down, this stored carbon is released into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Additionally, deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, further exacerbating climate change.

To find the unit rate, we divide the total number of patrons by the total number of minutes.

Unit rate = 300 patrons / 30 minutes = 10 patrons per minute
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the unit cost per ounce, we divide the total cost by the total weight.

Unit cost per ounce = $4.80 / 32 ounces

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Unit cost per ounce = $0.15 per ounce

To find the unit rate, we divide the total number of boats by the total area in square miles.

Unit rate = 16 boats / 4 square miles = 4 boats per square mile.
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the cost per acre, we divide the total cost by the total number of acres.

Cost per acre = $2,000,000 / 800 acres

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Cost per acre = $2,500 per acre
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the cost per pound, we divide the total cost by the total weight.

Cost per pound = $25 / 15 pounds

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Cost per pound = $1.67 per pound

To determine the conclusion the biologist can make about the forest, we need to calculate the number of old-growth trees per acre.

Number of old-growth trees per acre = Total number of trees / Total number of acres
Number of old-growth trees per acre = 600 trees / 100 acres

Simplifying the expression, we have:
Number of old-growth trees per acre = 6 old-growth trees per acre.

Therefore, the conclusion the biologist can make is that the forest has 6 old-growth trees per acre.

To determine the speed of light as the unit rate in millions of miles per minute, we divide the total distance by the total time.

Speed of light = 93 million miles / 8 minutes

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Speed of light = 11.6 million miles per minute

Therefore, the approximate speed of light is 11.6 million miles per minute.

To find the unit rate in miles per hour, we divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Unit rate = 22,500 miles / 5 hours

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Unit rate = 4,500 miles per hour

Therefore, the unit rate is 4,500 miles per hour.

To find the unit rate in grams per liter, we divide the total grams of sugar by the total liters.

Unit rate = 58 grams / 2 liters

Simplifying the expression, we have:

Unit rate = 29 grams per liter

Therefore, the unit rate is 29 grams per liter.
