The Invasion of the Lionfish


What was once just an attractive aquarium fish has recently become one of the biggest menaces in the Atlantic. The lionfish was accidentally introduced into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1990s. Because it has no natural predators, it has adapted quickly to its new home. The lionfish now threatens to destroy native fish populations in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico.


The lionfish spreads quite rapidly. Lionfish spread faster than any other invading species. Experts have called the invasion in the Atlantic the worst marine invasion of all time. The lionfish's success comes from an ability to reproduce all year round. In addition, they are greedy eaters with a fondness for small fish and crustaceans. They will eat anything smaller than they are. Lionfish love the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Since their first sighting, they have rapidly multiplied. In some locations, scientists estimate that lionfish populations exploded by 700 percent between 2004 and 2008 alone.


To combat the invasion, wildlife agencies have sponsored lionfish derbies. In these derbies, local scuba divers are invited to harvest lionfish. In addition, many states offer recipes for preparing and eating lionfish to encourage harvesting. Lionfish have to be handled carefully because of their venomous spines, but they are apparently delicious. Increasing the harvest of lionfish will help. However, scientists estimate that more than a quarter of the population would have to be taken every month to stop the growing population.


The lionfish has targeted our most fragile and important ecosystems. Scientists are working tirelessly to learn as much as they can about this predator. We may never be able to completely remove the threat, but many fishermen and seafood fans are hoping we can figure out how to control it.

Answer:

11x+5y

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+5y+x+x+x+x

Combine like terms

7x+x+x+x+x  +5y

11x  +5y

Answer:

Let S = price of sweater

Let P = price of pants

S + P = 89.47 because that was the total spent

S = P - 8.53   because the sweater is 8.53 less than pants

Substitute P-8.53 in place of S in the

1st equation and solve for P

P - 8.53 + P = 89.47

2P - 8.53 = 89.47     add 8.53 to both sides

2P = 89.47 + 8.53

2P = 98.00  divide both sides by 2

P = 98.00/2

P = $49.00

S = P - 8.53

S = 49.00-8.53

S = $40.47

A sweater costs $40.47 and the pants cost $49.00

Answer: Sammy says he was hungry on Monday so that's why he ate more blueberries than Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y= 6     ========================>>>           2x +  3y = 6

x+y=4    =====   times both sides by 2  =====>>>    2x + 2y = 8

             ==== subtract these two equations ==>>  (2x - 2x) + (3y - 2y) = 6 - 8

                                                                                       0x     +      y       =   -2

        y = -2     so if  x + y = 4             plug in -2 where y was

                             x + (-2) = 4              add 2 to both sides

                                    x   =  6

(6,-2)

(-2,6)

(-3, 4)

(0, 2)

Answer:The first table would be a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the only table with a constant, which is required in a proportional relationship. The constant would be 1300 which you can find by divided the two numbers in each row.

Answer:

5 people

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I subtract 5.10 from 45 which gave me 39.90

2. I divided 39.90 by 7 to figure out how many people he could buy for

3. I had gotten 5.7 so I had to round

4 final answer is 5

Answer:

Jamie can buy lunch for 5 people.

7p≤40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jamie has $40.

Lunch cost per person = $7

Solution:

Jamie wants to treat some friends to lunch.He has $40 and knows that lunch will cost about $7 per person, p.

So, an inequality to represent this situation is written as:

Hence, the answer is 5

Therefore, Jamie can buy lunch for 5 people.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors are 9 and 27 are 1,3,9,27

With that, 9/27 is undoubtedly reducible to 1/3

Before now,we were told that when a number divides itself,the result is zero...now,⅜÷⅓ should give us 1 but 3/8×3/1 = 9/8 and 9/8≠1 hence,they aren't same!

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

since 4 percent would have to be multiplied by 25 to get 100 you have to multiply 6 by 25. This comes out to 150. You can even check this by doing 150 times 0.04 which is 6 so we are correct!

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply these numbers you will eventually find that they all have a common multiple of 120. 120 is also the least common multiple so therefore, the lcm is 120

Answer:

[tex]1 \frac{36}{84} [/tex]

simplified :

[tex]1 \frac{3}{7} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we turn them into improper fractions

[tex]3 \frac{ + 3}{ \times 4} \div 2 \frac{ + 5}{ \times 8} [/tex]

First, we multiply 3×4=12+3=15 the demoninator will remain the same.

2×8=16+5=21, denominator remains the same.

[tex] \frac{15}{4} \div \frac{21}{8} [/tex]

when it comes to division with fractions, you flip the right(direction)fraction then multiply.

[tex] \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{8}{21} [/tex]

15×8=120

4×21=84

[tex] \frac{120}{84} [/tex]

then turn in back into a mixed fraction.

[tex]1 \frac{36}{84} [/tex]

demoninator remains the same, how many times 84 goes into 120, which is once(whole number) and how many is left over (numberator)
