Apply what you know about rates from mathematics to a problem involving water consumption. An aquifer holds 146,000 cubic feet of water. Water exits through a well at a steady rate of 500 cubic feet per day, and the aquifer is replenished at a constant rate of x cubic feet per day. If the water in the aquifer is used up in a year (365 days), what is the value of x? Ignore evaporation and other losses.

the answer is g1

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
