Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

Answer:
he would be at 16.50ft. below sea level.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are below sea level, the feet would be negative. -11.75 + -4.75 would be -16.50ft below sea level.
Let me know if this helps!!!!

Q1
<u>The exponential growth model for frogs:</u>
F- number of frogs, x- number of years, 1.22 - growth factor
<u>Calculations</u>:
- F(5) = 100(1.22)⁵ = 270
- a) F(10) = 100(1.22)¹⁰ = 730
- b) F(20) = 100(1.22)²⁰ = 5335

<u>The exponential growth model for bacteria:</u>
B- number of bacteria, x- number of hours, 1.8 - growth factor
<u>Calculations:</u>
- a) B(5) = 10(1.8)⁵ = 189
- b) B(24) = 10(1.8)²⁴ = 13382588
- c) B(168) = 10(1.8)¹⁶⁸ = 7.68 * 10⁴³
