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

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6
