One of the advantages is that less energy is lost throughout the chain. For example:

From which food chain is least energy lost?

A corn → hens → humans

B grass → cows → humans

C potatoes → humans

D water plants → small fish → large fish → humans

In this case, c would be the answer because it has the the least transition till the energy absorbed from the sunlight reaches the human. And as we know, when we go down the food chain, more than 90% of the energy is lost to the following organism. For example the scenario A, 10% of sunlight is absorbed by the plant and stored in the corn, which is then eaten by the hens but by then the plant has already consumed 90% of the energy and by the time we eat the hen, it has consumed the 90% of the 10% energy left in the plant of the 10% absorbed from the sun. Therefore leaving the humans with only 0.1% of sunlight hitting the plant's leaf. Of course this would be an even minuet percentage if it were the case for scenario D. LOL

If 5 key chains cost 11.25 then 15 key chains cost?

If 5 key chains cost 11.5 then one key chain costs 11.5 divided by 5, which is 2.3 so 15 key chains cost 2.3 x 15, which is 34.5Actually the cost of 5 chains is 11.25 not 11.50.so divide 11.25 by 5 to find the cost of one chain = 2.25now multiply 2.25 by 15 to find the cost of 15 chains = 33.75Another way to do it is to see that 15 chains is 3 times more than 5 so multiply the cost of 5 chains by 35x3 = 33.75
