I'll just make a manual computation on how 1 member recruits his members until week 5. Then multiply the sum by 2.
old new
1: 1
2: 1 x 3 = 3 ⇒ 1 3 *only new members recruit 3 more
3: 3 x 3 = 9 ⇒ 4 9
4: 9 x 3 = 27⇒ 13 27
5: 27 x 3 = 81 ⇒ 40 81
40 + 81 = 121. Total number of members under 1 founding member.
121 x 2 founding members = 242 total number of members within 5 weeks.
Answer:
The length of the ribbons in all were 25.3 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lengths of the three pieces of ribbon were 10 meters and 9 decimeters, 3 meters and 10 decimeters, and finally 10 meters and 4 decimeters.
Now, to find the length of the ribbons in all.
So, by adding the length of all three pieces we get the length of all the ribbons:



.
Now, converting the decimeters into meters = 23 meters + 2.3 meters = 25.3 meters.
(1 decimeter = 0.10 meter)
(23 decimeter = 2.3 meter.)
Therefore, the length of the ribbons in all were 25.3 metres.
Well... if 450 is 90% of the crates then 500 is 100%. 450 crates is 0.90% of 500 crates.
