Answer:

2,048 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cells after 1 hour = 4 * 2 = 8

Number of cells after 2 hours = 8 * 2 = 16

Number of cells after 3 hours = 16 * 2 = 32

Number of cells after 4 hours = 32 * 2 = 64

Number of cells after 5 hours = 64 * 2 = 128

Number of cells after 6 hours = 128 * 2 = 256

Number of cells after 7 hours = 256 * 2 = 512

Number of cells after 8 hours = 512 * 2 = 1,024

Number of cells after 9 hours = 1,024 * 2 = 2,048

If Kayla has a red ribbon with length 25 9 m and piece of 5 7 m is cut from it and gave to Sania . Find how much long ribbon left with her?

Kayla has a ribbon of length = 25 9 m.
Part of ribbon give to Sania = 5 7 m.
So, the length of the ribbon left =25 9 m - 5 7 m = 175 63 = 130 63 m
So , the ribbon left with Kayla is 2.06 m .

A store sells flower arrangements at a cost of $28 each. Which statements are true regarding the price of the arrangements? Chec

Maru [420]

Let's check each case to determine the solution to the problem.

we know that

The cost of each flower arrangements is $\$28$

Statements

case A) If the price is marked down by $10$ percent, the new price will be $\$25.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $10$ percent

then

the new price will be

$10\%= \frac{10}{100} =0.10$

$(1-0.10)*\$28=0.90*\$28 \\= \$25.20$

$\$25.20=\$25.20$

therefore

The statement case A) is True

case B) If the price is marked down by $25$ percent, the new price will be $\$21$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $25$ percent

then

the new price will be

$25\%= \frac{25}{100} =0.25$

$(1-0.25)*\$28=0.75*\$28 \\= \$21$

$\$21=\$21$

therefore

The statement case B) is True

case C) If the price is marked down by $50$ percent, the new price will be $\$19$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $50$ percent

then

the new price will be

$50\%= \frac{50}{100} =0.50$

$(1-0.50)*\$28=0.50*\$28 \\= \$14$

$\$14 \neq \$19$

therefore

The statement case C) is False

case D) If the price is marked down by $35$ percent, the new price will be $\$18.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $35$ percent

then

the new price will be

$35\%= \frac{35}{100} =0.35$

$(1-0.35)*\$28=0.65*\$28 \\= \$18.20$

$\$18.20=\$18.20$

therefore

The statement case D) is True

case E) If the price is marked down by $40$ percent, the new price will be $\$29.80$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $40$ percent

then

the new price will be

$40\%= \frac{40}{100} =0.40$

$(1-0.40)*\$28=0.60*\$28 \\= \$16.80$

$\$16.80 \neq \$29.80$

therefore

The statement case E) is False

At leslie's school the ratio of boys and girls is 11 to 12 at marks school the ratio of boys girls is 41 to 48 if both schools h

Softa [21]

Answer: B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the options:

A There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 11 to 12 is greater than the ratio 41 to 48.

B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

C. There are more boys at Leslie's school than at Mark's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

At leslie's school the ratio of boys and girls is 11 to 12. This implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:

= 11/(11 + 12) = 11/23 = 0.4783

At Marks school the ratio of boys to girls is 41 to 48. Thus implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:

= 41 / (41 + 48) = 41/85= 0.4824

Based on the calculation, we can deduce that there are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
