Answer:
5. Proportion states that the ratios or fractions are equal
Use Conversion
1 mm = 0.001 m
Based on the statement
If the city of Miami is 1.83 above sea level
Also,
Sea level rises in 1 year = 4 mm = 0.004
Let x be the years of steady sea leve;
by definition of proportion:
1/0004 = x/ 1.83
cross multiply: 1.83 = 0.004x
Divide both sides by 0.004
457.5 = x
457.5 years of steady sea level rise at 4mm/year will flood the city
6. There will be increased flooding which will cause problems which would impactliving conditions in the area.
