Answer:

3 squares

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is not complete, the diagram of the shape is supposed to be attached. But I would provide you with a diagram and show you how to solve this type of problem.

The diagram of the shape is attached below. Firstly, you have to count the number of squares in the shape. As it can been seen from the diagram, there are a total 18 squares (i.e 6 squares on each row × 3 squares on each column).

Secondly you have to find 1/6 of the total number of the squares in the shape. 1/6 of the total number of the square in the shape = 1/6 × 18 = 3 squares

Therefore 3 squares would have to be shaded so that 1/6 of the shape is shaded

Oxana [17]

Answer: 19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 25 markers in total and 6 of them are green. The odds of a student not getting a green marker would be the number of markers that aren’t green out of 25

25 - 6 = 19

Cherries $5 per pound and oranges per pound$2. He paid 18.00 for total weight which was 6 lbs how many pounds of cherries did Al

wel

Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

Answer:

Study 1 Answers:

1) 0.76 represents the multiplier of the bacteria, in this case it is decreasing by 24% because the formula for exponential decay is 1 - r.

2) 1290 represents the initial value, or before the study began.

Study 2 Answers:

1) 1180 is the initial value, or before the study began.

2) Study 1 started with more bacteria

3) Study 1 is experiencing exponential decay, while study 2 is experiencing exponential growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form $y=a(b)^x$ , where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x represents inputs, such as hours after a bacteria study.

Any multiplier above 1.00 is experiencing exponential growth, meaning it grows gradually over time, and any multiplier below 1.00 is experiencing exponential decay, meaning it decreases in population over time.

yuri has a rope 12 meters long. he cuts it into pieces that are each 2 meters long. what fraction of the rope is one piece

Lelu [443]

So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)

Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This function passes the vertical line test.

The vertical line test test is done by drawing a vertical line anywhere on the graph. If the line goes through two points or more then it isn't a function.
