Nate is curious to learn how much elephants eat compared to the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale.
He does some research and finds that a full-grown blue whale eats about 1,460,000 pounds of krill per year.
Write and solve a question about how much food blue whales eat. Use scientific notation in your answer.

The equation representing the number of whales (x) and the krills eaten (y) by them in a year is .

Given information:

A full-grown blue whale eats about 1,460,000 pounds of krill per year.

Let x be the number of blue whales and y be the number of krills eaten by x whales in a year.

So, the general relation between x and y can be written as,

Now, let there are 3 whales in a region. So, the number of krills eaten by them in a year will be,

So, 3 whales will eat 4380000 pounds of krills in a year.

Therefore, the equation representing the number of whales and the krills eaten by them is .

y = 1.46 * 10⁶ x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the following equation:

Let x to represent the number of blue whales and,

let y to represent the total krill eaten by x blue whales per year

1'460,000 = 1.46 * 10⁶

y = 1.46 * 10⁶ x

7

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
