The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
Explanation:
An exponential function is of the form
, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.
For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.
The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.
We use t as the number of years.
This gives us
So 37 1/2
each can hold 2 1/2 oz
how many cups can he fill
37 1/2=75/2
2 1/2=5/2
x=number of cups
x times 5/2=75/2
5/2x=75/2
multiply both sides by 2
5x=75
divide both sides by 5
x=15
he can fill 15 cups

Answer: 13.722 km ; or, write as: 13 13/18 km .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
Area = Length * width ;
___________________________________________________
or, write as: A = L * w ;
________________________
Given: A = 247 km² ;
L = 18 km ;
w = "y" ;
________________________
Find: "y"
______________________________
A = L * w ;
______________________________
Plug in our values:
______________________________
247 km² = 18 km * "y" ; solve for "y" (in units of "km") ;
_____________________________
18 y = 247 ;
___________________________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "18"; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" :
___________________________________________________________
18 y / 18 = 247 / 18 ;
_____________________________________________
to get:
_____________________________________________
y = 13.7222222222222222...... km ; round to: 13.722 km
or; y = 13 13/18 km .
