15/3 = 4/x
5 = 4/x 
so
x = 4/5

What is greater 8 yd or 288 in
natali 33 [55]
To solve this problem we need to know the equivalence between yards and inches, that is:
1 yd = 36 inches

Therefore in 8 yd we have:
8(36) = 288
so in 8 yd we have 288 inches
So 8 yd is equal to 288 in

The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?
seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.


I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.


the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.


When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

There are two formulae you can use to calculate the number of apple trees and the number of conifer
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

  n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

"By inspection" is an appropriate method.

We are asked to compare the expressions

  n·n

  8·n

and find the value(s) of n that makes them equal. <em>By inspection</em>, we see that n=8 will make these expressions equal. We also know that both expressions will be zero when n=0.

__

More formally, we could write ...

  n^2 = 8n . . . . the two formulas give the same value

  n^2 -8n = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

  n(n -8) = 0 . . . . . factor

Using the zero product rule, we know the solutions will be the values of n that make the factors zero. Those values are ...

  n = 0 . . . . . makes the factor n = 0

  n = 8 . . . . . makes the factor (n-8) = 0

Generally, we're not interested in "trivial" solutions (n=0), so the only value of n that is of interest is n = 8.

__

A lot of times, I find a graphing calculator to be a quick and easy way to find function argument values that make expressions equal.

a repair bill for your car is 553. the parts cost 265. the labor cost is 48 per hour write and solve an equation to find the num
Effectus [21]

Let's represent the number of hours with the variable 'h' (or whatever letter you want it to be):

265 + 48h = 553

Substract both sides by 265:

48h = 288

Divide:

h = 6

6 hours of labor was spent

Describe a real-world situation that is a model by multiplying two fractions or mixed numbers
Ivanshal [37]
Construction. 

When construction workers need measurements that are fractions they need to be able to multiply/add/subtract/divide all of those different fractions and mixed numbers.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
