The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.

Step 2:

To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.

Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.

Growth factor = \frac{difference in values}{past value} = \frac{3,600-1,000}{1000} = \frac{2,600}{1,000} = 2.6.

So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is   A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base =  49.5 mi

The sum of a number x and 5 equals 14
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x+5=14, then you would subtract 5 from 14. 14-5=9. So that means x equals 9.

Fran has 7 sheets of paper for a colouring project. If she only uses 1/3 of a sheet of paper per drawing how many drawings can s
Sav [38]
So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.

Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.
