Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let corn tortillas be represented by c, flour tortillas be represented by f and the total number of packages be t

such that

t = c + f     .... eq 1

ratio of c to t = 7 : 16 = 7/16

Therefore, t = 16,    c = 7

substitute the value of t in eq 1

16 =  7 + f

f = 16 - 7

f = 9

a metal mast is stabilized with 3 guy wires. Find the slope of one of the guy wires if d = 100 ft and h= 70ft
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The slope of one of the guy wires is m=0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the vertical distance of the guy wire by the horizontal distance of the guy wire to find the slope of one of the guy wire.

We have

d = 100ft ----- horizontal distance

h = 70ft ------- vertical distance

Then,

m = h/d

Put the values in the given formula:

m = 70/100

m = 0.7

Thus the slope of one of the guy wires is m=0.7

A strain of bacterial cells doubles inpopulation every 2 days. A single cell is placed in a dish with sufficient nutrients to su
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The equation that will calculate the number of days after which there will be 256 bacterial cells in the dish is 2^(d/2) = 256

<h3>How to determine the equation of the number of days?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Rate, r = doubles every two days

Initial number of strain, a = 1

This means that the function is an exponential function.

An exponential function is represented as:

A(d) = a * r^d

Since the strain doubles every two days, we have:

A(d) = a * r^(d/2)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

A(d) = 1 * 2^(d/2)

Evaluate the product

A(d) = 2^(d/2)

When there are 256 bacterial cells, the equation becomes

2^(d/2) = 256

Hence, the equation that will calculate the number of days after which there will be 256 bacterial cells in the dish is 2^(d/2) = 256
