Chris is building a model out of wire. He has a length of wire that measures 9/10 of a yard. If he cuts it into 5 equal parts, t

hen how long will each piece be

1 answer:

3 0

$\displaystyle\\\frac{9}{10}~~\text{of a yard}~~=\frac{9}{10}~\text{yards}\\\\\frac{1}{5}~\text{from}~\frac{9}{10}~\text{yards}=\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{9}{10}=\frac{9}{50}~\text{yards each piece}$

To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, $t=log_{.5} .125=3$ . This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375
