Answer: There would be 12,000 bacteria 8 hours after the initial infection.

Step-by-step explanation: You start with 25 cells and if they divide every 15 minutes, 25 multiplied by 15 gets you 375 cells every quarter of an hour. Then if you multiply that by the 32 quarter hours, you get 12,000 cells. To check that you can also multiply 25 by 15, still 375, then 375 by 4 for each quarter of the hour, then that gets you 1,500 cells every hour. If you multiply that by 8 for the 8 hours they have time to divide, you still get 12,000 cells.

I hope this helps!

a committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{990}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The full question:

"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:

P(n,r) = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Where n would be the total [in this case n is 11] & r would be 3

Which is:

P(11,3) = $\frac{11!}{(11-3)!}=\frac{11!}{8!}=11*10*9=990$

So there are total of 990 possible way and there is ONLY ONE WAY for them to be reassigned. Hence the probability would be:

1/990

Shaylee has 77 pennies. She will trade in the pennies to get nickels.

Ghella [55]

0.77 / 0.05 = 15.4 ...so we know it is 15 nickels
15 * 0.05 = 0.75.....0.77 - 0.75 = 0.02....with 2 pennies left over

ur answer is : 15 nickels and 2 pennies left over

Which radical expression is in simplified form A. 11y/sqrt3 B. sqrt6/5y C. sqrt17/sqrt4 D. sqrt25/18

Mkey [24]

Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{5y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given radical expressions are:

$A. \frac{11y}{\sqrt{3}}\\\text{It is not completely simplified ,}\\\text{since denominator is radical, we need to rationalize it first to simplify. }\\\\B.\frac{\sqrt{6}}{5y}\\\text{It is completely simplified ,}\\\text{since its denominator is not radical and 6 is not a perfect square. }\\\\C. \frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\text{It is not completely simplified ,}\\\text{since denominator is radical, we need to rationalize it first to simplify. }\\\\$ $\\\\D. \frac{\sqrt{25}}{18}=\frac{5}{18}\\\text{Hence, expression D was not completely simplified .}$
