Why might there be more dissolved oxygen in a lake in Vermont than in a similar sized lake in Florida in summer? (20 points) A.) The sandy bottoms of Florida lakes absorb dissolved oxygen better than the rocks in Vermont.
B.) The cooler water in a Vermont lake would be able to hold more dissolved oxygen.
C.) Water evaporates more slowly from Vermont lakes, leaving more dissolved oxygen in them.
D.) More rain falls in Florida in summer, diluting the dissolved oxygen in the lake.

B

Explanation:

In summer, the temperature of Vermont is lower than that in Florida. When temperature increases, the ability will decrease. So there is more dissolved oxygen in Vermont's lake.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
