One fifth is the same as $\frac{1}{5}$ and 15 is the same as $\frac{15}{1}$

So just times across, $\frac{1}{5}$ × $\frac{15}{1}$
Resulting in(1 x 15= 15, and 5 x 1= 5), $\frac{15}{5}$

If you need/want to reduce it, divide both numbers by 5. Leaving you with the simplified answer of $\frac{3}{1}$ or 3. Either answer works. :)

If you have any questions, just comment them down below :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the differential equation is

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 0.04P\left(1-\frac{P}{500}\right)$ .

We need to solve it and obtain an expression for $P(t)$ in order to complete the exercise.

First of all, this is an example of the logistic equation, which has the general form

$\frac{dP}{dt} = kP\left(1-\frac{P}{K}\right)$ .

In order to make the calculation easier we are going to solve the general equation, and later substitute the values of the constants, notice that $k=0.04$ and $K=500$ and the initial condition $P(0)=100$ .

Notice that this equation is separable, then

$\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = kdt$ .

Now, intagrating in both sides of the equation

$\int\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = \int kdt = kt +C$ .

In order to calculate the integral in the left hand side we make a partial fraction decomposition:

$\frac{1}{P(1-P/K)} = \frac{1}{P} - \frac{1}{K-P}$ .

So,

$\int\frac{dP}{P(1-P/K)} = \ln|P| - \ln|K-P| = \ln\left| \frac{P}{K-P} \right| = -\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P} \right|$ .

We have obtained that:

$-\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right| = kt +C$

which is equivalent to

$\ln\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right|= -kt -C$

Taking exponentials in both hands:

$\left| \frac{K-P}{P}\right| = e^{-kt -C}$

Hence,

$\frac{K-P(t)}{P(t)} = Ae^{-kt}$ .

The next step is to substitute the given values in the statement of the problem:

$\frac{500-P(t)}{P(t)} = Ae^{-0.04t}$ .

We calculate the value of $A$ using the initial condition $P(0)=100$ , substituting $t=0$ :

$\frac{500-100}{100} = A}$ and $A=4$ .

So,

$\frac{500-P(t)}{P(t)} = 4e^{-0.04t}$ .

Finally, as we want the value of $t$ such that $P(t)=200$ , we substitute this last value into the above equation. Thus,

$\frac{500-200}{200} = 4e^{-0.04t}$ .

This is equivalent to $\frac{3}{8} = e^{-0.04t}$ . Taking logarithms we get $\ln\frac{3}{8} = -0.04t$ . Then,

$t = \frac{\ln\frac{3}{8}}{-0.04} \approx 24.520731325$ .

So, the population of rats will be 200 after 25 months.

A pet owner has 5 cats. Each cat has 2 ears and 4 paws. Complete the double number line to show the numbers of ears and paws for

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

If there are 3 cats in the room, what is the ratio of ears to paws? 1 : 2

If there are 4 cats in the room, what is the ratio of paws to ears? 2 : 1

If all 5 cats are in the room, how many more paws are there than ears? the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, we have 10 more paws than ears.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see the double number line for this situation in the attached photo.

So as we can see in the double number line diagram, if there are 3 cats in the room we would have an ears to paws ratio of 6 : 12 , which simplified would be 1 : 2, meaning that for every ear there are 2 paws.

For the next question, if there are 4 cats in the room, the paws to ears ratio would be 16 : 8, simplified to 2 : 1, meaning that for every 2 paws there is 1 ear.

And for the last question, if all 5 cats are in the room, we have that the paws to ears ratio is 20 : 10, simplified again to 2 : 1, meaning the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, so in this case we have 10 more paws than ears.

Ms. Reynold's sprinkler system has 5 stations that water all parts of her front and back lawn. Each station runs for an equal am

mina [271]

Answer: 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 16 minutes for the first 2 stations to water their sections which means that the time taken per station is:

= 16/2

= 8 minutes per station

Ms. Reynolds has 5 stations.

Total time taken will therefore be:

= 8 * 5

= 40 minutes

Rewrite using the distributive property and GCF 16 + 40

Artist 52 [7]

The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8.

16/8 = 2

40/8 = 5

We can rewrite this using the distribute property like so:

Using the distributive property:

16 + 40

16 + 40 = 56

We can also add inside the parentheses and multiply and we'll get the same answer.
