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

latrell wants to keep his test average in his class at 85 or higher. so far, he has earned score of 85, 76, 94 and 81 on his tes
Lena [83]

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mean formula, mean = sum of elements / number of elements.

He wants to keep his average at 85 or higher, so plug in 85 as the mean. Let x represent the score he has to get, and solve for x:

mean = sum of elements / number of elements.

85 = (85 + 76 + 94 + 81 + x) / 5

85 = (336 + x) / 5

425 = 336 + x

89 = x

So, he has to get a 89.

32b) What are the like terms in the expression 4y + 5 + 3y? *​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

4y and 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

4y and 3y are like terms because they have y after the number. Every time when a math problem ask you to combine like terms, it'll be the ones that have the same variables or powers.

PLEASE HELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the types of numbers.

Real numbers: a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line

ex: 1, 5, -6, 0.125, 45.5258,

Integer: Zero, any positive or negative number

ex: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Whole numbers: a number without fractions [not negative]

ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....

Rational numbers: any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction

ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Irrational numbers: any number that can't be expressed at the quotient or fraction

ex: pi, [3.14.... (never ending decimal)]  square root of 2....

Based on this information, the false statment would be A. I believe, because

pi is a real number and it is an irrational number.

I hope this helps!!! :)
