How to tell if 12:17 and 10:15 are equivalent

1 answer:

3 0

12:17 and 10:15 can be rewritten as 12/17 and 10/15. We need to make the denominators similar so we find the LCM of 17 and 15 which is 255.

12/17 = 180/255
10/15 = 170/255

180 $\neq$ 170

They are not equivalent. Hope this helps!

-8b-32 what is the answer with work?

Crank

Well the LCM (lowest common multiples) for 8 and 32 would be 4. So plug 4 into "b" -8×4-32. -8×4=32. -32-32. Since you can't subtract 32 and 32 you add! Which gives you -64.

Hope this helps (:

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$
