Question

The daily supply of oxygen for a particular multi cellar organism is provided by 625 square feet of lawn. A total of 10,625 square feet of lawn would provide the daily supplies of oxygen for how many organisms? The lawn would supply the daily supply of oxygen for ____ organisms.

Answer 1

According to the information given in the exercise, the daily supply of oxygen for a particular multicellular organism is provided by 625 square feet of lawn:

`625ft^2`

Let be "x" the number of multicellular organisms that will receive the daily supplies provided by a total of 10,625 square feet of lawn.

Using the data provided in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

`(1)/(625)=(x)/(10,625)`

Therefore, solving for the variable "x", you get this result:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(625)\cdot10,625=x \\ \\ (10,625)/(625)=x \\ \\ x=17 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is: 17 organisms.
