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.

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15​% copper and another alloy that is 60​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy shou
coldgirl [10]

18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper should be combined by the metalworker to create 90 kg of 51% copper alloy.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x = kg of 15% copper alloy

Let y = kg of 60% copper alloy

Since we need to create 90 kg of alloy we know:

x + y = 90

51% of 90 kg = 45.9 kg of copper

So we're interested in creating 45.9 kg of copper

We need some amount of 15% copper and some amount of 60% copper to create 45.9 kg of copper:

0.15x + 0.60y = 45.9

but

x + y = 90

x= 90 - y

substituting that value in for x

0.15(90 - y) + 0.60y = 45.9

13.5 - 0.15y + 0.60y = 45.9

0.45y = 32.4

y = 72

Substituting this y value to solve for x gives:

x + y = 90

x= 90-72

x=18

Therefore, in order to create 90kg of 51% alloy, we'd need 18 kg of 15% copper and 72 kg of 60% copper.

sineoko [7]

Answer: a) 2092278989 b) 576, c) \dfrac{576}{2092278989}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students = 16

Number of desks = 16

a)  How many days must pass before the class must repeat a seating arrangement?

16!=2092278989

If the number of rows = 4

b) How many seating arrangements are there that put Larry, Moe, Curly, and Shemp in the front seats?

4!\times 4!\\\\=24\times 24\\\\=576

c) How many seating arrangements are there that put Larry, Moe, Curly, and Shemp in the front seats?

\dfrac{576}{2092278989}

Hence, a) 2092278989 b) 576, c) \dfrac{576}{2092278989}
