Officials begin to release water from a full man-made lake at a rate that would empty the lake in 20 weeks, but a river that can fill the lake in 30 weeks is replenishing the lake at the same time. How many weeks does it take to empty the lake? Express your answer as a fraction reduced to lowest terms, if needed.

Empty rate = 1/18 job/week

---

Fill rate = 1/25 job/week

---

Together rate: 1/x

---

Equation:

rate - rate = together rate

1/18 - 1/25 = 1/x

----

Multiply thru by 18*25x

---

25x - 18x = 18*25

7x = 18*25

x = 64.29 weeks (time required to empty)

step-by-step explanation:

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
