Petri Dish A sees a double ever 10 minutes
Petri Dish B sees a double ever 6 minutes
Consequences
A doubles 60 / 10 = 6 times.
B doubles 60 / 6 = 10 times.
Solution
If you work best with numbers then suppose there are 100 bacteria in both dishes at the beginning
A = 100 * 2^6
B = 100 * 2^10
A will have 100 * 64 = 6400 bacteria growing inside A
B will have 100 * 1024 = 102400 bacteria growing inside B
B/A = 102400 / 6400 = 16
There are 16 times as many in B than in A. <<<< Answer
There are 5 people. Each ate the same amount. So it is 1/5 of the sandwich. 6.125/5=1.225 feet
Answer:
Adult=58
Step-by-step explanation:
c=child, a=adult
6.4c+9.7a=1145 equation 1
c+a=149 equation 2
a=149-c modified equation 2 to isolate a
6.4c+9.7(149-c)=1145 substitute value of a from equation 1 into equation 2
6.4c+1445.3-9.7c=1145
-3.3c=-300.3
c=91
solve for a
c+a=149
91+a=149
a=58
Check answer:
6.4c+9.7a=1145
6.4(91)+9.7(58)=1145
582.40+562.60=1145
1145=1145
