How do you estimate 175.32 ÷ 3 =

Mathematics

Answer:

  ≈ 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.

Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.

You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

_____

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.

A population of a particular yeast cell develops with a constant relative growth rate of 0.4225 per hour. The initial population
Ksju [112]

Answer: The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have an exponential with:

A  = initial population.

r = constant relative growth rate:

t = time.

The function that models this is:

P(t) = A*e^(k*t)

In this case we know that:

A = 3.9 mill.

r = 0.4225 1.

Then the function that models the population of this yeast cell is:

P(t) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*t)

where t represents the time in hours.

Then if we want to know the population after 3 hours, we should replace t by 3.

P(3) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*3) = 13.85 mill.

And we want to round our answer to one decimal place, then we must look at the second decimal place, we can see that is a 5, so we should round up.

The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.

Solve for x, 12y+6=6(y+1)
Vanyuwa [196]

For this case we must solve the following equation:

12y + 6 = 6 (y + 1)

We apply distributive property on the right side of the equation:

12y + 6 = 6y + 6

We subtract 6y on both sides of the equation:

12y-6y + 6 = 6\\6y + 6 = 6

We subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

6y = 6-6\\6y = 0

Dividing by 6 on both sides of the equation:

y = 0

So, the result is y = 0

Answer:

y = 0
