Answer:

3 min  

Step-by-step explanation:

These are all independent actions.

If you put 1 cat in a room with 1 mouse, it will take 3 min to catch the mouse.

If you put 2 cats in a room with 2 mice, they will act independently and it will take 3 min for each one to catch a mouse.

If you put 3 cats in a room with 3 mice, they will act independently and it will take 3 min for each one to catch a mouse.

If you put 100 cats in a room with 100 mice, they will act independently and it will take 3 min for each one to catch a mouse.

Each cat will finish at the same time — 3 min.

Answer:

100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes each of the 3 cats about 1 minute to catch one mouse. If the same goes for the 100 cats, it will take them 100 minutes to catch 100 mice.

Hope that helps.

Jonathan's piggy bank contains 20 nickels, 30 quarters, and 50 one-dollar coins. He picks 20 coins from the bank at random; 12 o
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Theoretical probability: 50/100 or 50%

Experimental probability: 12/20 or 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out both probabilities asked.

Theoretical probability:

In the whole bank, here are 100 coins (20 nickels + 30 quarters + 50 one-dollars), among which there are 50 one-dollar coins. So the probability to pick up a one-dollar coin is 50 out 100, so...

TP = 50/100 or 50%

Experimental probability:

For the experimental probability, we know Jonathan picked out 20 coins, out of which 12 were one-dollar coins, so the probability is 12 out of 20...

EP = 12 / 20 = 60%

A scientist has discovered an organism that replicates at a rate of five per hour and lives for one week. Each replicated organi
Assoli18 [71]
At hour one, there is 1 organism. At hour two, there is five more organism. At hour three. there will be 6 x 5 = 30 more organisms, etc

This is a geometric sequence with a = 1 (i.e. number of organisms at hour one), r = 5 (number of reprications per hour).

The total number of organisms at hour seven is the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence given by a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1) = 1(5^7 - 1)/(5 - 1) = (78125 - 1)/4 = 78124/4 = 19,531
