The illustration shows one of the ways resources are removed from the deep sea. Describe what type of resources these are, including if they are renewable or non-renewable. Predict two consequences to the seafloor life if this process is not regulated.

a. 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

b. 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

c. 39 cheese were bought on Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

------- M -- T - W -- T -- F−−−−−−−M−−T−W−−T−−F

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

First, it should be noted that the horizontal data represent the row while the vertical data represent the column.

Having said that, the solution is as follows:

Solving (a): Second Row, Third column

The data at the second row are:

------- M -- T - W -- T -- F−−−−−−−M−−T−W−−T−−F

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

The data at the third column is then limited to:

------------------W

Salad -------- 48

So the number at this position implies that: 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

Solving (b): Third Row, Fourth column

The data at the second row are:

------- M -- T - W -- T -- F−−−−−−−M−−T−W−−T−−F

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

The data at the fourth column is then limited to:

------------------- T

Chicken ---- 42

So the number at this position implies that: 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

Solving (c): First Row, Fifth column

The data at the first row are:

------- M -- T - W -- T -- F−−−−−−−M−−T−W−−T−−F

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

The data at the fifth column is then limited to:

------------------F

Cheese ----- 39

So the number at this position implies that: 39 cheese were bought on Friday
