Answer:

The least number of steps she takes to reach 20 m is 118 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

For Laura, the length of a walking step = 50 cm = 0.5 m

The repeating number of steps she takes = Two steps forward one step backwards

The number of forward steps it would take for her to reach 20 m = (20 m)/(0.5 m) = 40 steps

Given that she always takes two steps forward and one step backwards, we have;

The number of steps forward every three steps = 2 step forward + (-1) step (backward)

The number of steps forward every three steps = 2 - 1 = 1 step forward

To reach 39 steps forward, she would need 39 × 3 =  117 steps

To get to the 40 steps she needs just a step forward, making the total number of steps to reach 40 steps = 117 + 1 = 118 steps

Therefore, the least number of steps she takes to reach 20 m = 118 steps.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: P=0.975^t


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is


y=A(1-r)^t, where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay


Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. P=\frac{A(1-0.02)^t}{A}=\frac{(0.975)^t}{1}

Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is P=0.975^t

How to round to the nearest dollar add or subtract
Setler [38]
Okay Abrahammontiel1, the thing you must remember is any thing that is 5 or over must be rounded up and anything lower must be rounded down.
Example:
$2.30
since we want to round to the nearest dollar we look at the digit behind the whole dollar, which in this case is 0.3
and since it's lower that 0.5 we must round down
So it will look like this: $2

If we had a number like $4.72
we would look at the 0.7
and since it is greater that 0.5 we would round  up so that it would equal $5
