An electrician needs 3/8 of a roll of electrical wire to wire each room in a house. How many rooms can he wire with 2 1/4 rolls of wire? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

6 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 rolls of wire are needed to wire a room in a house. If there are a total of 2¹/₄ rolls of wires, the number of rooms that could be wired is:

First convert to an improper fraction:

2¹/₄ = 9/4 rolls of wire

Total number of rooms that can be wired are:

= Total amount of wire available / Wires per room

= 9/4 ÷ 3/8

= 9/4 * 8/3

= 72 / 12

= 6 rooms

answer: 177/8

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
