Answer: 8.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)  =18/100 = 0.18

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

192,000 = 47,000 (1+ 0.18)^t

Solving for t:

192,000/47,000 = 1.18^t

4.08 =1.18^t

ln 4.08 = ln 1.18^t

ln 4.08 =t (ln 1.18)

ln 4.08 / ln 1.18  =t

8.5 years = t

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A bicycle store installs about 400 tires per day. Tires are installed Monday through Friday for 8 hours per day. The owner of th
dalvyx [7]
Dividing the number of tires that should be installed per day which  is 400 by the number of working hours which is 8 will give us 50 tires per hour. Assuming that the same mistake will take toll on the workers such that they will have 1 tire mistakenly installed in an hour, they will have 8 erroneous tires in a day. Multiplying this by 5 to make the answer per week will give 40. Out of the 400 x 5  = 2000 tires. The answer would be 2000 - 40 which is equal to 1940. The assumption must be valid.

Cual es el volumen del cubo de rubick cuya arista mide 3 cm
Natasha2012 [34]

For this case we are asked the following question:

"What is the volume of the rubick's cube whose edge measures 3 cm"

By definition, the volume of a cube is given by:

V = l ^ 3

Where:

l: Is the side or the edge of the cube

According to the statement we have:

l = 3 \ cm

Substituting:

V = 3 ^ 3\\V = 3 * 3 * 3\\V = 27

Finally, the volume of the cube is 27 \ cm ^ 3

Answer:

27 \ cm ^ 3
