Answer:

9,400 bacteria at Hour 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

If at

Hour 0, it was at 6,000 bacteria then at

Hour 6, it would be at 7,200 bacteria

That means in 6 hours, the bacteria has grown by 1,200

Let's use a ratio:

hours : bacteria

6 : 1,200

1 : 200

17 : 3,400

Now after 17 hours, 3,400 new bacteria has joined our group of 6,000

6000+3400=9400

9,400 bacteria should be present at Hour 17

The perimeter of a rectangle is 44 inches. If the width of the rectangle is four more than half the length, find the length of t

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: the length of the rectangle is 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle is x inches

Hence, the width is (x/2)+4 inches

Thus,

$\displaystyle\\2(x+(\frac{x}{2} +4))=44\\\\2x+x+8=44\\\\3x+8=44\\\\3x+8-8=44-8\\\\3x=36\\$

Divide both parts of the equation by 3:

$x=12\ inches$

Future value of 10% savings from earnings of1470 earning 3.5% annual interest compounded monthly for 25 years

Leviafan [203]

hmmm so let's see first how much is 10% of the earnings of 1470.

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{10\% of 1470}}{\left( \cfrac{10}{100} \right)1470}\implies 147$

so then

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$147\\ r=rate\to 3.5\%\to \frac{3.5}{100}\dotfill &0.035\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &25 \end{cases}$
