The employees in a firm earn $8.50 an hour for the first 40 hours per week and 1.5 times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40. if an employee works 52 hours in one week, how much money does he earn that week?

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees in a firm earn $8.50 an hour for the first 40 hours per week and 1.5 times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40.

If an employee works 52 hours in one week, it means that the amount that the employee would earn in the first 40 hours is 40 × 8.5 = $340

The number of hours left is 52 - 40 = 12 hours. The amount of money that he would earn in 12 hours is 12 × 1.5 = $18

Total amount of money that he earns for the week 340 + 18 = $358

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
