Question

on an average one/10th of the food Eaten is turned into another organisms on body and is available for the next level of the consumer in a food chain if a person consumes 2.5 kg of food in a day what is the weight of the food eaten which is not available for the next level​

Answer 1

Answer:

225 kg of food is not available for next level of food chain consumer Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

If, 1/10 of the food eaten is available for next level of consumer in a food chain

Then, 9/10 of the food eaten is utilized and isn't available for the next level of consumer in a food chain

Because, if 1/10 is left then the utilized amount must be 9/10 because 1+9 = 10 and 10/10 is equal to 10 or the total amount of food eaten

So, to find the weight of food not available for the next level of food chain consumer if food eaten is 2.5kg we have to find 9/10th amount of grams or kilograms of food of 2.5 kilograms

To find any percent of any number or amount from a decimal or fraction that is smaller than the original number we multiply them.

To multiply a decimal number it is easier to multiply if multiplied by any multiple of 10 first so we can move the decimal point all the way to the right, to do this though, we have to multiply by that number on both sides.

Solution:                                                                                      Rough Work:

=9/10 x 2.5                                                    4                            9   10÷90=9

=9x10/10 x 2.5 x 10                                        25                  10⟌90          10      

=90/10 x 25                                                    x9                       -90          x9  

=9 x 25                                                         225                        00         90

=225 kg of food is not available for next level of food chain consumer Answer
