Answer:

There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,

Pencils = 3(Pens)

If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,

Pencils + Pens = 100

Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),

3(Pens) + Pens = 100

Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,

3Pens + 1Pens = 100

Add the two together,

4Pens = 100

Divide,

Pens = 25

Substitute 25 into the first equation,

Pencils = 3(25)

Pencils = 75

Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

There are 651.335 million cells in the petri dish after 11 hours and the cells will reach 1 billion cells after 14.068 hours

<h3>How to determine the number of cells after 11 hours?</h3>

The given parameters are:

At t = 0, Bacteria = 140 million

At t = 6, Bacteria = 320 million

This can be represented as:

f(0) = 140

f(6) = 320

An exponential function is represented as:

f(t) = f(0) * r^t

When t = 6, we have:

320 = 140 * r^6

Divide both sides by 140

r^6 = 2.28571428571

Take the 6th root of both sides

r = 1.15

So, we have:

f(t) = f(0) * 1.15^t

Substitute f(0) = 140

f(t) = 140 * 1.15^t

After 11 hours, we have:

f(11) = 140 * 1.15^11

Evaluate

f(11) = 651.33

Hence, there are 651.335 million cells in the petri dish after 11 hours

Time to reach 1 billion cells

This means that

f(t) = 1 billion i.e. 1000 million

So, we have:

1000 = 140 * 1.15^t

Divide by 140

1.15^t = 7.14285714286

Take the logarithm of both sides

t * log(1.15) = log(7.14285714286)

Divide both sides by log(1.15)

t = 14.068

Hence, the cells will reach 1 billion cells after 14.068 hours

Area = 120 units squared <br> Base = 8 units <br> Length = ? (Include the units in your answer)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we know that Base*Length=Area, so we just have to divide the area by the base, so the formula here is Area/Base=Length.

That would get us 120/8=Length,

and if we just divide 120 by 8 we get 15, so the length is 15

6. Describe how we could conduct a simulation to decide whether a simple random sample from this population could produce a samp
BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have proportion p = 50/100 = 0.50

Probability of success = 1-0.50 = 0.50

To conduct simulation, let's assume experiment is to be done 10 times

1. Use binomial parameters n, number = 10, p = 0.50. we then get the necessary size of population To carry out the sampling.

2. We get a random sample and get the size of people who support an against smoking with kids in the car.

3. We repeat this process after drawing sample and also get the number of those in support of ban.

4. After getting n, we find proportion.

I need help with question 30..
Aloiza [94]

Let's say 1000 dollars was spent on all of these. That would mean 170 dollars and 240 were spent on food and entertainment respectivly. If we want to see how much of the total cost was spent on these things, we would have to add them and divide them by 1000, so:

\frac{170+240}{1000}=\frac{410}{1000}=frac{41}{100}
