Why is 6/8 greater than 5/8 but less than 7/8?

1 answer:

6 0

Because if you draw a three pies and cut all of them into 8 pieces and shade 6 in one, 5 in the other, and 7 into the last one, you will see that there is a bigger piece shaded in the one with 6 shaded than the pie with 5 shaded. And less shaded than the one with 7 shaded. Hope I helped :)

The number of bacteria in a petri dish is 50,000 (on day 0) if the amount is doubling each day by when will the number of bacter

Drupady [299]

Answer:

f(x) = 50000*2^x
3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial amount of bacteria = 50000
Growth rate = 2 times a day

Required equation:

f(x) = 50000*2^x

Solve for x:

400000 = 50000*2^x
2^x = 400000/50000
2^x = 8
2^x = 2^3
x = 3

After 3 days bacteria numbers will reach 400000

What is the equation of the line expressed in slope-intercept form?

Alisiya [41]

(x,y)
x=how far to the right
y=how far up
ok so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept or where the line intercept the y axis

it looks like the line intercept the y axis at 2 high so
y=mx+2
we look at our options and we see that there is only 1 equation that has y=mx+2
that is B
B is the answer

What is the solution to this equation 2/3x+1=1/6×-7

Alika [10]

Answer:

A . x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\\frac{2}{3}x+1=\frac{1}{6}x-7\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x+1-1=\frac{1}{6}x-7-1\\\\\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{6}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8-\frac{1}{6}x\\\\= \frac{1}{2}x=-8\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:2}\\\\2\times \frac{1}{2}x=2\left(-8\right)\\\\x=-16$
