Answer:

It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter than the original weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use exponential decay formula:

A = P (1-r)t

A = amount decreased to

P = original amount

r = rate of decrease

t = time

 

6 ≥ 12 (1-0.10)t      divide both sides by 12

0.5 ≥ (0.9)t            take log of both sides

log (0.5) ≥ log (0.9)t     power rule of logs lets the exponent t drop to front of log to become a factor

log (0.5) ≥ t log(0.9)     divide both sides by log(0.9) which is negative so reverse the inequality sign

log (0.5) / log (0.9) ≤ t     use calculator

6.57 ≤ t

 

It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter that original weight.

 

check:

12 (0.9)7≈ 5.73

12 (0.9)6 ≈ 6.37

Perform the following division. Round the answer to three decimal places. 126.4 ÷ 1.7 =
kherson [118]
I am assuming that you are supposed to answer this division problem through the long division method. So my answer is going to be a step-by-step description of the long division solution for this problem.

The first step is to move the decimal point of the dividend and the divisor. Hence, 1264.0 and 17. The decimal point of the quotient shall then be written in alignment with the decimal point of the dividend.

Then we proceed with the division process, 126/17 gives us 7 (write this above the division bar). 7 multiplied by 17 gives 119 (write this under the divisor). So 126-119 is equal to 7. We then bring down the digit after 126 of the divisor, which is 4. So we now have 74. 74 divided by 17, we get 4. 4 multiplied by 17 gives 68. We subtract 68 from 74 and we have 6, bring down 0, we have 60. We then repeat the division-multiplication-subtraction process until we get to the third decimal place of the quotient.

Finally, the answer is 74.352.
