How is an animal unit figured, and what purpose does it serve?
213385
A unit of measurement for any animals in a feeding operation. Calculated in this report as follows: Dairy cattle - number animals x 1.4 Beef cattle - number animals x 1.0 Hogs - number animals x 0.4 Horses - number animals x 2.0 Sheep - number animals x 0.1 Poultry - number animals x 0.033 Mink - number animals x 0.001.

Well, every animal has it's own set of stats.  I suggest you google a bit.

1) A scale is the unit to measure the mass and volume of a specific object.\n2) Weight measurer? (I am not very sure of this)\n3) It depends. If it is digital, you can simply read the number reading but if it is manual, you have to look at the "small lines" that indicate the mass and volume of an object shown in kilograms or something like that.\n\nI am not sure that all of this are correct but I hope this would give you clues to your answers. Good luck!

the science dealing with the structure of animals and plants\nthe structure of an animal or plant, or of any of its parts\nhope that helps ya \nim a science nut so anything you need help with let me know heres my email its feliciamarielawrence@yahoo.com \ni want to major in science but for now the army is for me !

There are "levels" to dimensioning.\n\nThe major dimensions are the overall height, width, depth of the whole object.  \n\nThe next level down will sub-divide that major dimension to describe sub-components.\n\nAs example:  Consider a house plan.  \n*  From one extreme side to the other extreme side is a MAJOR dimension (the overall width).  \n*  In between those extreme outer wall edges are interior walls that need to be located as well.  So the next layer of dimensions (MINOR) still goes from one side to the other but pulls lots of dimensions from lots of walls.  \n*  Also, there are porches, corners for inset windows, etc  Another MINOR level picks up those points.\n*  And so on.\n\nIn your 3D drawing: \n*  you only have 6 MAJOR dimensions to a cube shape anyway.  Depending on how you rotate the drawing object, you see 3 of them and 3 will be hidden (back side).\n.

"One hundred feet of fencing is used to enclose tree sides of s rectangular pasture." - If I'm not mistaken, it should be "three sides". \n\n"The side of a barn closes off the fourth side." - So, the perimeter of 100 ft doesn't include the fourth side. \n\n"What is the area of the pasture if the with (one of te sides that are attached to the barn ) is 5 ft?" - I'm assuming you mean "the width". \n\nSince the width is one of the sides attached to the barn, that means that the barn is on the length of the pasture. \n\nTherefore, if the fourth side is the length, and the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w: \n2w + l = 100\n2(5) + l = 100\nl = 100-10\nl = 90\n\nIn that case, the area of the pasture would be lw=90(5) = 450 sq. ft. \n\nI believe that the most likely answer would be the length as 90 feet and the area 450 sq ft. \n\n---------------\n\nSome people have answered this question with 237.5 sq ft as the answer. This is because they have assumed that the barn covers the width of the pasture, making the equation 2l + w = 100, so that "l" would be 95/2= 47.5, and the area lw=47.5*5=237.5 sq ft.

There are 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac System. (Japan, Vietnam have same one). They are:\n\n1. Rat.\n2. Ox.\n3. Tiger\n4. Rabbit\n5. Dragon\n6. Snake\n7. Horse\n8. Goat\n9. Monkey\n10. Rooster\n11. Dog\n12. Pig\n\nThey are mainly use for calculating seasons, together with another system of 10 elements.  Which means, after 60yrs, the cycle will comes back.  (Isn't it the same for the Year of Jubilee? Work for 60yrs and rest, releasing all slave, debt etc?)\n\nMy is Rooster.  I take it purely as a mathematical system.  My life is at the hands of the Lord.  He know us even when we are in our mother's womb.

ESU is Evolutionary Significant Unit.... referring to a group which is fairly distinct and reproductively isolated from anything else that might be considered similar... or rather that it doesn't interbreed with other close species (and typically that there isn't anything much like it anywhere near)...  Seems more of a conservation biology term to me...\n\nAs for the MU .... thats Map Unit ... and refers to some stuff to do with distances with genetic marker loci along chromosomes.... something beyond my meagre knowledge to explain.

No. Where would I find such an animal?

There are several areas to check, including:  many websites about the animals themselves or a college website pertaining to physiology.  For the animals, you might want to try a website of an animal food company.

I'm not sure what context the sentences are in, but assuming it is about paleontology my guess would be:\n\na) means that the larger animal died a lot longer then the smaller animal, hence the size and depth of the bones found.  With only two set of bones to compare to, I don't know if you can make the generalization that larger animals lived longer ago and that as time progressed animals decreased in size.\n\nb) would mean that the animal with closer footprints has shorter legs (not to be mixed up with "is a smaller animal").  A more separated footprint would me longer legs.\n\nThose are my guesses and I'm sticking to it.

Divide 278 by four to get the number of horses, then subract that number of horses from the heads to get the number of ostriches. MAke sense? If it doesn't email me. \n\nR u sure you have the number of hooves right?????? Cause ostriches don't have hooves but there is a remainder of 2 did u mean feet? if u meant feet then...\n\nummm...\n\nOOOO i no.... 123 horses and 0 ostriches! works don't it?

Star fish have five *arms* (or, sometimes, multiples of five or six arms).  Their legs are called "tube feet" and are found in the grooves under the arms.  They have an even number of them!\n\nMost animals have an even number of legs because they are symmetrical along a single axis, so both sides end up looking the same.  The only way to have an odd number would be to not be bilaterally symmetrical (and the only animals who aren't don't have legs!) or to have a leg in the middle, which wouldn't be much use.\n\nThe only "exception" to this would be an insect-like animal called the springtail.  It's not really a leg, but they do have their abdomen bent over and underneath them.  They use it to spring very high into the air, so you could call it a leg of a sort.  Sprintails are neat.  They are very common, but most people never notice them because they are mostly quite small.

Without knowing what units you're starting with, you can't convert it into feet.\n\nIf you are given inches then just divide it by 12 and you have feet.\nIf you are given centimeters, divide it by 2.54 to  get inches, and then divide that by 12 to get feet.\nIf you are give miles, multiple it by 5280.  \n\nSo you HAVE to know the original units before you can convert it to feet.

I smelled a rat when I heard this. Sounded like the teacher had a joke in mind, so here is the answer. It is very long. I have included a source so it is properly academic. \n------------------------------\nHow To Put An Elephant Into A Refrigerator\nAnalysis:\n1) Differentiate it and put into the refrig. Then integrate it in the refrig.\n2) Redefine the measure on the referigerator (or the elephant).\n3) Apply the Banach-Tarsky theorem.\n\nNumber theory:\n1) First factorize, second multiply.\n2) Use induction. You can always squeeze a bit more in.\n\nAlgebra:\n1) Step 1. Show that the parts of it can be put into the refrig. Step 2. Show that the refrig. is closed under the addition.\n2) Take the appropriate universal refrigerator and get a surjection from refrigerator to elephant.\n\nTopology:\n1) Have it swallow the refrig. and turn inside out.\n2) Make a refrig. with the Klein bottle.\n3) The elephant is homeomorphic to a smaller elephant.\n4) The elephant is compact, so it can be put into a finite collection of refrigerators. That's usually good enough.\n5) The property of being inside the referigerator is hereditary. So, take the elephant's mother, cremate it, and show that the ashes fit inside the refrigerator.\n6) For those who object to method 3 because it's cruel to animals. Put the elephant's BABY in the refrigerator.\n\nAlgebraic topology:\nReplace the interior of the refrigerator by its universal cover, R^3.\n\nLinear algebra:\n1) Put just its basis and span it in the refrig.\n2) Show that 1% of the elephant will fit inside the refrigerator. By linearity, x% will fit for any x.\n\nAffine geometry:\nThere is an affine transformation putting the elephant into the refrigerator.\n\nSet theory:\n1) It's very easy! refrigerator = { elephant } 2) The elephant and the interior of the refrigerator both have cardinality c.\n\nGeometry:\nDeclare the following:\nAxiom 1. An elephant can be put into a refrigerator.\n\nComplex analysis:\nPut the refrig. at the origin and the elephant outside the unit circle. Then get the image under the inversion.\n\nNumerical analysis:\n1) Put just its trunk and refer the rest to the error term.\n2) Work it out using the Pentium.\n\nStatistics:\n1) bright statistician. Put its tail as a sample and say "Done."\n2) dull statistician. Repeat the experiment pushing the elephant to the refrig.\n3) Our NEW study shows that you CAN'T put the elephant in the refrigerator.\n\nTo place a lion into the same refrigerator. Open the refrigerator door take out the elephant and put the lion in.

dimensional analysis is solving a problem by using the units of the terms involved.\n\nfor instance, since volume density has units of mass / volume, you know how to find volume density given a mass and a volume, it would just be: mass/volume = density.\n\na more complicated example force (F) has units of newtons. Newtons can be further broken down into the units (kilogram * meters)/seconds^2\n\nthus, if you know the mass of an object (kilograms), and the acceleration (meters/second^2), you then know how to put the two together to find force, it would just be:\n\nkilograms * (meters/seconds^2)\n\nwhich is mass*acceleration.\n\nthis type of analysis can be strung together to solve more complicated problems.

they have trailers that haul the animals but it depends on how far my guess they would haul them in trailers
