We'll start by calling the number of pigeons we started with x, because it's the unknown.

After she clapped 1/3 flew away so she was left with

(1 - 1/3) x = (2/3) x

Two flew back, so now there are

(2/3) x + 2

She clapped again and half left, half stayed, so now

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )

One came back and there were five,

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 ) + 1 = 5

Solving is unraveling.

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )  = 4

(2/3) x + 2   = 8

(2/3) x  = 6

x = (3/2) 6 = 9

Answer: 9 pigeons

Check: Reviewing the story,  9 -> 6 -> 8 -> 4 -> 5 good

Initially a pool contains 350 gallons of water. A hose is placed in the pool and the water is turned on. The hose adds 5.2 gallo
Sedaia [141]
The answer is D because to get the total amount of water from the hose in x minutes, you would have to multiply the gallons per minute with the amount of minutes, or x, and so you would have 5.2x. But, we have to include the existing water in the pool. So, we would get V(x) = 5.2x + 350

creativ13 [48]

The formula is

A=p (1+r)^t

A future value 6678

P present value 5300

R interest rate 0.065

T time?

6678=5300 (1+0.065)^t

6678/5300=(1+0.065)^t

Take the log for both sides

Log (6678/5300)=t×log (1+0.065)

Divide both sides by log (1+0.065)

T=(log(6,678÷5,300)÷log(1+0.065))

T=3.7 years


Hope it helps!

What is 802.6 in expanded form
ankoles [38]

Answer:

802+6 tenths.

Step-by-step explanation:

802 is not apart of the decimal. (I might sound stupid but I dont remember expanded form as much.) Only the 6 is apart of the decimal itself. 802 is just numbers. The 6 is pretty much the decimal.
