The number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days would be: 245.41 microoganisms.

<h3>How to calculate the number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days?</h3>

To calculate the number of microorganisms that I will have after 10 days, I must perform the following operations:

We need to find 37% of 55 as shown below:

  • 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  • 0.55 x 37% = 20.35
  • 55 + 20.35 = 75.35

So after 2 days I will have 75.35 microorganisms.

  • 75.35 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  • 0.7535 x 37% = 27.87
  • 75.35 + 27.87 = 103.22

On the fourth day I will have: 103.22 microorganisms.

  • 103.22 ÷ 100 = 1.0322
  • 1.0322 x 37% = 38.19
  • 103.22 + 38.19 = 141.41

On the sixth day I will have 141.41 microorganisms.

  • 141.41 ÷ 100 = 1.4141
  • 1.4141 x 37% = 52.32
  • 141.41 + 52.32 = 193,73

On the eighth day I will have 193.73 microorganisms.

  • 193.73 ÷ 100 = 1.9373
  • 1.9373 x 37% = 71.68
  • 193.73 + 71.68 = 265.41

On the tenth day I will have 245.41 microoganisms.

alexira [117]

Answer:

  311%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is calculated as ...

  percent change = ((new value) -(old value))/(old value) × 100%

Filling in the numbers, we have ...

  percent change = (181.5 -44.2)/44.2 × 100% ≈ 311%

The global area increased by 311% over the interval.

Which of the following conjectures is false?<br>Please give a counterexample!<br>Thank youuu
MakcuM [25]

Which of the following conjectures is false?

Solution: The false conjecture is:

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd

Explanation:

F. The product of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The product of two even numbers is:

4 \times 6 = 24

Therefore, the product is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

G. The sum of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The sum of two even numbers is:

4+6 = 10

Therefore, the sum is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

H. The product of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The product of two odd numbers is:

3\times5 = 15

Therefore, the product is also odd number. Hence the conjecture is true.

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The sum of two odd numbers is:

3+5= 8

Therefore, the sum is not an odd number. Hence the conjecture is false.

Please help me with the question below
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

If Judge is x years old and Eden is 6 years older, then Eden is x + 6 years old.

The second part tells us that Eden will be twice as old as Judge in two years.

This means that in two years: (Eden's age) = 2 * (Judge's age).

Since we know that Eden's age can be represented as x + 6 and Judge's age can be represented as x, we can write this: x + 6 = 2 * x

Simplify the equation:

x + 6 = 2x

6 = x = Judge's age (in two years)

If Judge is 6 two years later, then he must be 4 now.

To check our work, we can just look at the problem. Judge is 4 years old and Eden is 6 years older than Judge (that means Eden is 10 right now). Two years later, Eden is 12 and Judge is 6, so Eden is twice as old as Judge. The answer is correct.
