Answer:
3/8 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 tablespoons of sugar = 1/16 * 2 = 1/8 cup of sugar.
1/2 cup = 4/8 cups.
So the extra sugar required = 4/8 - 1/8
= 3/8 cups.
He needed to divide instead of subtracting it on the last step.
I would say B .
They are not like terms because they are not all the same
Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are
lilypads on the 30th, and
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
