If this occurred over a span of 35 years and the population doubles every 7 years, we can divide 35 by 7 to find how many times the population has doubled, which would be 5 times. If we divide 60,000 by 2 (or multiply by 1/2) 5 times, you would get the answer, which would be 1,875.

The table shows the altitudes of four different cities. What is the correct way to arrange the altitudes in decreasing order?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A. 58, 13,-35,-51

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the greatest positive number, 58. Then use the next greatest positive number, 13. When it comes to negative numbers, the number with the smaller absolute value is greater.

|-35| = 35

|-53| = 53

-35 has a smaller absolute value than -53, so -35 is greater than -53.

Answer: A. 58, 13,-35,-51

The amount of a sample remaining after t days is given by the equation mc001-1.jpg, where A is the initial amount of the sample
kherson [118]

P(t)= A(1/2)^(t/h)

P(t)=10(1/2)^(16/8)

<em>(1/2)^(16/8) =.25</em>

P(t)=10(.25)

P(t)=2.5

Therefore the answer is B. 2.5mg.

S $1,595 deposit for 10 years at a simple interest rate of 8%
o-na [289]

Answer:

$2,871.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 8%/100 = 0.08 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 1595(1 + (0.08 × 10)) = 2871

A = $2,871.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,595.00 at a rate of 8% per year for 10 years is $2,871.00.
