Careless mining and timber harvesting in tropical forests can destroy entire species of flora and fauna, create soil problems, and even threaten the existence of primitive people who rely on what the forests provide. Yet in a number of countries, business entrepreneurs are exploiting the rain forests for profit. Under what conditions, if any, is it ethical for a mining or lumber company to harvest the resources of a rainforest

if there are a significant amount of resources in the rainforest for it to be taken because if there isnt a plentiful amount for the animals, the animals wont get what they need which would hurt their population.

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
