What do you want to find out? > The rate at which Bill puts shringles on a rood. What do you know? > Bill and Chip each fi

nished half of the roof. > Bill needs 7 hours to put the same number of shingles on the roof that Chip does in 4 hours. > For each worker, the time multiplied by the rate equals the number of shringles > Chip's rate is 30 shringles more per hour than Bill's rate. What is Chip's rate in terms of Bill's rate? Let b = Bill's rate. Chip's rate = Bill's rate (b) ( - ) ( 4 ) ( 30 ) ( 7 ) ( + )

Answer:

  (a) b = (4/7)c

  (b) Bill: 40 shingles/hour; Chip: 70 shingles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and c represent Bill's and Chip's rates in shingles per hour, respectively. Then we have ...

  7b = 4c

  c - b = 30 . . . . shingles per hour difference in rates

(a) Bill's rate in terms of Chip's rate can be found by dividing the first equation by 7

  b = (4/7)c . . . . . Bill's rate is 4/7 of Chip's rate

__

(b) To find the rates, we can multiply the second equation by 7 and substitute using the first equation:

  7c -7b = 210

  7c -4c = 210

  c = 210/3 = 70

  b = (4/7)(70) = 40

Bill's rate is 40 shingles per hour; Chip's rate is 70 shingles per hour.

A species of beetles grows 32% every year. Suppose 100 beetles are released into a field. How many beetles will there be in 10 y
siniylev [52]

Given that a species of beetles grows 32% every year.

So growth rate is given by

r=32%= 0.32


Given that 100 beetles are released into a field.

So that means initial number of beetles P=100


Now we have to find about how many beetles will there be in 10 years.

To find that we need to setup growth formula which is given by

A=P(1+r)^n where A is number of beetles at any year n.

Plug the given values into above formula we get:

A=100(1+0.32)^n

A=100(1.32)^n


now plug n=10 years

A=100(1.32)^{10}=100(16.0597696605)=1605.97696605

Hence answer is approx 1606 beetles will be there after 20 years.


Now we have to find about how many beetles will there be in 20 years.

To find that we plug n=20 years

A=100(1.32)^{20}=100(257.916201549)=25791.6201549

Hence answer is approx 25791 beetles will be there after 20 years.



Now we have to find time for 100000 beetles so plug A=100000

A=100(1.32)^n

100000=100(1.32)^n

1000=(1.32)^n

log(1000)=n*log(1.32)

\frac{\log\left(10000\right)}{\log\left(1.32\right)}=n

33.174666862=n

Hence answer is approx 33 years.
