There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.<u />

There are 850 Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees in a section of forest bought by Karamazov Logging Co. The company paid an av
ki77a [65]

Answer:

350 Douglas fir, 500 Ponderosa pine

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let f = the number of fir trees

and p = the number of pine trees.

Then, we have two conditions:

(1)                                f + p = 850

(2)                  300f + 225p = 217 500

(3)                                    p = 850 -f         Subtracted f from each side of (1)

(4)       300f + 225(850 - f) = 217 500     Substituted (3) into (3)

      300f + 191 250 - 225f = 217 500     Distributed 225

                    75f + 191 250 = 217 500     Distributed the 7

                                    75f = 26 250      Subtracted 191 250 each side

(5)                                     f = 350

                             350 + p = 850           Substituted (5) into (1)

                                        p = 500          Subtracted 350 from each side

The company bought 350 fir trees and 500 pine trees.

Check:

(1) 350 + 500 = 850     (2) 300 × 350 + 225 × 500 = 217 500  

              850 = 850                  105 000 + 112 500 = 217 500

                                                                   217 500 = 217 500

OK.

Help! I have looked at so many lessons on writing exponential functions from a graph and nothing has helped.
Over [174]

Answer:

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the exponential function is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Since the graph of this function passes through two points (4, \frac{1}{2}) and (3, -1)

For the point (4, \frac{1}{2}),

\frac{1}{2}=a(b)^4 ---------(1)

For second point (3, -1),

-1 = a(b)³ ---------(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1),

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-1} = \frac{a(b)^4}{a(b)^3}

-\frac{1}{2}=b^{(4-3)}

-\frac{1}{2}=b

From equation (2)

-1 = a(-\frac{1}{2})^3

-1 = -\frac{1}{8}a

a = 8

Therefore, equation of the exponential function will be,

y = 8(-\frac{1}{2})^x
