Answer:

8 friends, 9 shells and 5 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question you will need to know how to factorise a number in prime numbers.

72/2 => 36/2 => 18/2 => 9/3 => 3

So 72 is 2*2*2*3*3 = 72

Then 40 = 2*2*2*5

Their common factors are 2*2*2 = 8

So there's only 8 friends at most to have whole numbers.

To see how many shells you only need to do 72/8 = 9

For the coins, 40/8 = 5

joja [24]
Let's formulate an equation first. For exponential growth, we follow the formula. b = 800, r - 0.027. Hence,

y = 800(1+0.027)^t

Then, at t = 21, y will be determined
y = 800 (1+0.027)^21
y = 1399.81 = 1400

Thus, the amount of bacteria present after 21 hours is 1400.

M is the midpoint of AB.<br> AM = = 4x - 8<br> MB =<br> 5x-3/3<br> Find x and AB
marusya05 [52]
X=-7 AB=-72

steps

since m is a midpoint, AM and MB are congruent so you set the two equations equal to each other, 4x-9=5x-3/3( is this a typo? bc 3/3 is 1)
subtract 4x from both sides m, -8=x-1
add 1 to both sides
x=-7

then plug -7 in for x 4(-7)-8=-36
since the two segments are congruent u do -36 x 2= -72
