If capeland switches from producing 0 watermelons to producing 18 million tons of watermelons, what does it give up?

Attached to this solution is an image of the complete question and data.

The correct answer is:

6 million pairs of shoes

Explanation:

From the diagram attached to this answer, the following data can be gotten:

Watermelons                   shoes

(Millions of tonnes)          (Millions of pairs)

0                                        15

8                                        14

14                                       12

18                                       9

20                                      5

21                                       0

From the pattern of the data shown above, we notice that as the production of one commodity increases, the other is given up (decreases)

Therefore, to find how much shoes are given up if Capeland switches from 0 watermelons to 18 million tons of watermelon, we will find the difference between the number of shoes produced at 0 and at 18 million tons of watermelon

at 0 watermelon; shoes = 15 million pairs

at 18 million tons of watermelon; shoes = 9 million pairs

Therefore, number of shoes given up = 15 - 9 = 6 million pairs

Hence, 6 million pairs of shoes are given up tp increase production of watermelon from 0 to 18 million tons

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
