Answer:

2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we start with 1 bacteria

after 1 hours: 2*1 = 2

after 2 hours: 2*2 = 2^2 = 4

after 3 hours: 2*2^2 = 2^3  

after n hours: 2^n  

Since one day has 24 hours we have n = 24 and total number of bacteria will

be:  2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.

Answer:

2.9 litres

or

2 14/15 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of water Sam drinks in an hour, divide the total amount drunk by the number of hours

Amount drank in an hour = total litres drunk / time

2\frac{1}{5} ÷ \frac{3}{4}

\frac{11}{5} × \frac{4}{3} = \frac{44}{15} = 2\frac{14}{15} litres

Is 272 oz greater than 20 lb
Karolina [17]
We know that 1 lb = 16 oz
So lets convert the 20 lb to oz and then compare the two quantities in consistent units.
If 1 lb = 16 oz then 20 lb are equal to 20*16 oz, that is
20 lb = 20*16 oz = 320 oz
therefore,
320 oz are greater than 272 oz, or,
20 lb are greater that 272 oz

Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 35 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 10 X 5 = 50, 25 X 2 = 50 = 100

B = 15x5 = 75, 20 x 2 = 40, = 105

C = 20 x 5 = 100, already at 100 (so immediately wrong)

D: 25 x 5 = 125, already larger than 100 (so immediately wrong)

Therefore A is the only correct option, hop i helped you!

(could you mark me brainliest if possible thanks!)
