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.

When you have the number 81 as your median and you have to find the missing number out of the following 82,87,77,70,80,88
Natali5045456 [20]
Uh, so, you're median is 81 already.

Since the middle two numbers are 82 and 80, you have to add them together and then divide by 2. 

However, if you're trying to add a number in, adding 81 as it is would work as well.

Hope this helps!

A l-meter steel rod is bent into a rectangle so that its length exceeds quadruple its width
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A 1 meter steel rod is bent into a rectangle.

That means the perimeter of the rectangle is 1 meter.

So, Perimeter = 1\ m=100\ cm

Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'.

Now According to question, length exceeds quadruple its width by 5 cm.

Hence framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Length=4x+5

Now we use the formula of  perimeter of rectangle,

Perimeter=2(Length+width)

On substituting the values, we get;

2(4x+5+x)=100\\\\(5x+5)=\frac{100}{2}\\\\5x+5=50\\\\5x=50-5\\\\5x=45\\\\x=\frac{45}{5}=9

Now, we substitute the value of x to get the value of length;

Length=4x+5=4\times9+5=36+5=41\ cm

Thus, Width=9 cm    Length=41 cm

Hence the dimensions of the newly formed rectangle is length is 41 cm and width is 9 cm.
