Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
32 students
Explanation:
We are given that:
Students in the class can either speak French, German or both
15 students know French
17 students know German
Now, the maximum number in the class can be calculated by assuming that no student can speak both languages.
This means that the number of students will be the summation of those who know French only (15) and those who know German only (17)
In this case:
the maximum number of students = 15 + 17 = 32 students
Hope this helps :)
Ok so assuming that the 'x' means multiply and not 'x' as in placeolder we do
PEMDAS
parenthaseees
exponents
multipilcation or division
additon or subtraction
parethasees simplify first
(8+7)=15
(9-3)=6
now we have
2x(15)-6/2x(6)
multiply
2x15=30
6/2x6=36/2=18
now we have
30-18
12
answer is 12
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
