The answer is 160 because as you stated in the question the number of bacteria doubles every five minutes, and after 10 minutes there are 40. Therefore, after 15 minutes there are 80 (40 doubled is 80), and after 20 (another 5 minutes), the number of bacteria is the double of 80, which is 160.

last year 1/5 of the students in your class played a sport this year 10 students join the class five of the new students play a
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

last year 1/5 of the class played sports, so s = (1/5) c

the next year, s increased by 5, c increased by 10 and the fraction changed to 1/4, so for the next year (s+5) = (1/4)(c+10)

To solve this we can substitute s = (1/5)c from the first equation into the second, so

((1/5)c + 5)=(1/4)(c+10), simplify both sides

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 10/4, simplify 10/4 to 5/2

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 5/2, multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions (least common multiple of 2, 4 and 5)

4c + 100 = 5c + 50, subtract 4c, subtract 50 from both sides

50 = c, number of students in class last year was 50, this year is 10 more, so this year is 60
