I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The decay factor is 1 -25% = 0.75 per hour, so the exponential equation can be written ...
r(t) = 1450·0.75^t . . . . . milligrams remaining after t hours
__
a) After 4 hours, the amount remaining is ...
r(4) = 1450·0.75^4 ≈ 458.79 . . . mg
About 459 mg will remain after 4 hours.
__
b) To find the time it takes before the amount remaining is less than 5 mg, we need to solve ...
r(t) < 5
1450·0.75^t < 5 . . . . use the function definition
0.75^t < 5/1450 . . . . divide by 1450
t·log(0.75) < log(1/290) . . . . . take logarithms (reduce fraction)
t > log(1/290)/log(0.75) . . . . . divide by the (negative) coefficient of t
t > 19.708
It will take about 20 hours for the amount of the drug remaining to be less than 5 mg.
Answer:
4x-2y=2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2y=4x-2/5
4x-2y=2/5
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of the 2 numbers = 3 : 4 = 3x : 4x ( x is a multiplier ) , then
3(3x) + 2(4x) = 68 , that is
9x + 8x = 68
17x = 68 ( divide both sides by 17 )
x = 4
smaller number = 3x = 3 × 4 = 12
