Answer:

0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the earth's oceans is approximately 1.34\cdot 10^{9}1.34⋅10

1, point, 34, dot, 10, start superscript, 9, end superscript cubic kilometers (\text{km}^3)(km

)left parenthesis, start text, k, m, end text, cubed, right parenthesis, and ocean water has a mass of about 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\text{km}^3}1.03⋅10

1, point, 03, dot, 10, start superscript, 12, end superscript, start fraction, start text, k, g, end text, divided by, start text, k, m, end text, cubed, end fraction .

To simplify, we will use the product of powers property of exponents that says that x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}x

a

⋅x

b

=x

a+b

x, start superscript, a, end superscript, dot, x, start superscript, b, end superscript, equals, x, start superscript, a, plus, b, end superscript.

\qquad 1.34\cdot 10^{9}\,\cancel{\text{km}^3} \cdot 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\cancel{\text{km}^3}} = 1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}1.34⋅10

Hint #2

Next we want to know what portion of the earth's mass this represents. We have:

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{mass of the oceans}}{\text{total mass of the earth}} &= \dfrac{1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}}{6\cdot 10^{24}\,\text{kg}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6\cdot 10^{3}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6000} \\\\ &= 0.0002300\overline{3} \end{aligned}

total mass of the earth

mass of the oceans

​

1.3802⋅10

​

=

1.3802

​

=

6000

1.3802

​

=0.0002300

3

​

To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100100100, so the oceans represent 0.02300\overline{3}\%0.02300

3

%0, point, 02300, start overline, 3, end overline, percent of the earth's total mass, according to these figures.

Hint #3

To the nearest hundredth of a percent, 0.020.020, point, 02 percent of the earth's mass is from oceans.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t
Eva8 [605]
The answer is 30720

A = P * rⁿ
A - the final population
r - the growth rate
P - the initial number of bacteria
n - the number of hours

We know:
A = ?
r = 2 (it doubles)
P = 15
n = 12

After 11 hours
A(11) = 15 * 2¹²
A(11) = 15 * 2048
A(11) = 30720

After 12 hours
A(12) = 15 * 2¹²
A(12) = 15 * 4096
A(12) = 61440

<span>How many bacteria are grown during the 12th hour?
A(12) - A(11) = 61440 - 30720 = 30720</span>
