1 inch = 5 miles
1 square inch =25 square miles
25 square miles x 75 square inches = 1,875 square miles
Answer : 1,875 square miles
To figure this out you would need to create a rectangle with dimensions that give you an area of 7 ft.². The easiest example would be a rectangle that is one by seven. If the scale is 1:16, that means for every foot it is actually representing 16 feet. The actual length and width would be found by multiplying 1×16 and 7×16. The true dimensions then would be 16 x 112. Multiply this together to get a total area of 1792 ft.².
Step by step explanation
4n-8=5
4n= 5+8
4n=13
4/4 n = 13/4
n= 13/4
Answer:
x²-8x-1=0
comparing above equation with ax²+bx+c=0
a=1
b=-8
c=-1
x=

=(--8+-√(64-4×1×-1)/2×1
=8+-√(64+4)/2
taking positive
x=(8+√68)/2=2(4+√17)/2=4+√17
taking negative
x=(8-√68)/2=2(4-√17)/2=4-√17
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
