Answer:

1.5b (kg)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the variables we were given:

weight of the watermelon = b (kg),

weight of watermelon = (2/5) * weight of candies

weight of candies = 1 ÷ (2/5) = 1 ÷ 0.4

weight of candies = 2.5b (kg)

How much is the weight of the box of candies greater than the weight of the watermelon is given by:

weight of the box of candies - weight of watermelon= 2.5b - b = <u>1.5b</u> (kg)

<u>Therefore, the weight of the box of candies is greater than the weight of the watermelon by 1.5b (kg) </u>

PLEASE HELP ITS DUE TODAY AND THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION
exis [7]

Answer:

Left: The substance is decreasing by 1/2 every 12 years

Right: The substance is decreasing by 5.61% each year

Step-by-step explanation:

exponential decay

A = P(1-r)ᵇⁿ, where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate decreased each time period, b is the number of years, and n is the number of times compounded each year

let's write each formula in terms of this

left:

f(t) = 600(1/2)^(t/12)

matching values up...

A = P(1-r)ᵇⁿ

A = f(t)

P = 600

1 - r = 1/2 -> r = 1/2

t/12 = bn -> b = number of years = t, so bn = b/12 -> n = 1/12. Thus, it is compounded 1/12 times each year, so it is compounded every t*12 = 12 years. If it was compounded each month, it would be compounded 12 times a year

Thus, this is decreasing by a rate of 1/2 each 12 years

right:

f(t) = 600(1-0.0561)^(t)

matching values up...

A = P(1-r)ᵇⁿ

A = f(t)

P = 600

1 - r = 1 - 0.0561 -> r = 0.0561 = 5.61%

t = bn -> b = number of years = t, so bn = b -> n = 1. Thus, it is compounded annually (1 time each year)

Thus, this is decreasing by a rate of 5.61% each year

Cosθ=0.5 (to nearest degree)
mylen [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

Given,

cos theta = 0.5

To convert it into angle, you have to take cos to right side making it (cos inverse).

Therefore, theta = cos inverse (0.5)

= 60°.
