Since it is an equality that means the left side of the equation (x/8) has to be equal to the right side of the equation (28/32). One way you can solve for x is to isolate it. Since it’s an equality like we said you have to do to the left side the same that you would do to the right side to isolate x. So if I multiply by 8 on the left I need to also multiply by 8 on the right. So 8* (x/8) becomes just x since 8x/8 becomes 8/8 * x which is 1 *x. On the right side we do 8 *(28/32) which becomes 28 * 8/32 which becomes 7. So x = 7.

Answer:  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{8} =\frac{28}{32}

We cross multiply, and we get:

32x = 8(28)

32x = 224

    x = 7

A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 41000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P t = P 0 ⋅ 2 t d
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Population of bacteria in culture after 14 hours is 285541.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with P_{t} =P_{0}(2)^{\frac{d}{t}}

Here initial population is 41000 , t=5 and d=14

Plug in these values into the formula

P_{14} =41000(2)^{\frac{14}{5} }

Simplify

P_{14}= 41000(2)^{2.8}

     =41000(6.9644)

     =285540.5847...

To the nearest whole number is 285541.
