Question

math focus 6. convert about how many feet of rain does a tropical savanna get in a year? 1 in. = 2.54 cm reading check 7. explain why do tropical desert organisms have to be adapted to changing temperatures?

Explanation:

6.

This question lacks the necessary information about the rainfall amount in a tropical savanna in non - feet units. Typically, a tropical savanna receives about 30 - 50 inches of rain per year. First, we need to convert inches to feet. Since 1 foot = 12 inches.

Step1: Assume rainfall is 40 inches (mid - range value for example)

Let $x$ be the rainfall in inches. Here $x = 40$.

Step2: Convert inches to feet

We know that to convert inches to feet, we use the conversion factor $\frac{1}{12}$. So the rainfall in feet $y=\frac{x}{12}$. Substituting $x = 40$ into the formula, we get $y=\frac{40}{12}=\frac{10}{3}\approx3.33$ feet.

Tropical deserts experience large daily temperature fluctuations. During the day, the sun heats the ground and air rapidly, causing high temperatures. At night, with little cloud cover and dry air, heat is quickly radiated back into space, leading to much cooler temperatures. Organisms must adapt to survive these extreme changes.

Answer:

Assuming 40 inches of rainfall (mid - range of typical values), about 3.33 feet.
