Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100                                      = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100                                       = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42   = 3654.97   = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.

Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = x

After 1 hour,

The number of bacteria = 185x/100

                                     = 1.85x

After 2 hours,

The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 

                                     = 3.42x

So

3.42x = 12500

x = 12500/3.42

  = 3654.97

  = 3655

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then
Masja [62]
A.
\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{2white}{8total}  \\  \frac{14}{72}  \\ =0.194
The denominator of the second number goes down one because you aren't replacing the initial marble pulled, making the amount of marbles in the bag go down, but not affecting the white count because you pulled a purple marble.
b.
\frac{2white}{9total} *  \frac{1white}{8total}  \\  \frac{2}{72}  \\ =0.278
The same can be said about the denominator for this problem, but not the numerator. The numerator must go down one number as well, because you already chose one white marble, taking one of the white marbles out of the bag, leaving you with one solitary, white marble.
c.
Chance of selecting two purple marbles:
<u />\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{6purple}{8total}  \\  \frac{42}{72}  \\ =0.583
Chance of selecting two white marbles:
\frac{2white}{9total} * \frac{1white}{8total} \\ \frac{2}{72} \\ =0.278
<u>Chance of selecting two purple</u> vs. <em>Chance of Selecting 2 white:</em>
<u>0.583</u>><em>0.278</em>.
It is more likely to select 2 purple marbles.

Hope this helps!

A freight company has shipping orders for two products. The first product has a unit volume of 10 cu ft and weighs 50 lb. The se
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Number of units of first product = 112

Number of units of second product = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two products which are to be shipped.

<em>First product details:</em>

Unit volume = 10 cu ft

Weight of one unit = 50 lb

<em>Second product details:</em>

Unit volume = 3 cu ft

Weight of one unit = 40 lb

Total volume that can be carried by a truck = 2320 cu ft

Total weight that can be carried by a truck = 21600 cu ft

To find:

The number of units of each product that can be transported in one shipment in the truck?

Solution:

Let number of units of first product = x

Let number of units of second product = y

We can write down two linear equations in two variables here and solving them will give us the answer we are required to find.

As per question statement, the equations can be written as:

10x+3y = 2320 ...... (1)\\50x+40y = 21600\\\Rightarrow  5x+4y = 2160...... (2)

Multiplying equation (2) with 2 and subtracting equation (1) from it:

8y - 3y = 4320-2320\\\Rightarrow 5y = 2000\\\Rightarrow \bold{ y = 400}

By equation (1):

10x+1200 = 2320\\\Rightarrow 10x = 1120\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 112}

Answer is:

Number of units of first product = 112

Number of units of second product = 400
