Group 1:
divide number of muffins by number of students

=8 ÷ 12
=8/12
reduce by 4
=2/3 muffins each in group 1

Group 2:
=6 ÷ 15
=6/15
reduce by 3
=2/5 muffins each in group 2

Add fractions together:
= 2/3 + 2/5
need common denominator
multiply 2/3 by 5 and 2/5 by 3 for common denominator of 15

=(2/3 * 5/5) + (2/5 * 3/3)
=(2*5/3*5) + (2*3/5*3)
= 10/15 + 6/15
= 16/15
= 1 1/15 muffin

ANSWER: Carmine gets 1 1/15 muffins because she was in both groups. She received 2/3 in one group, 2/5 in another group and added together she received 1 1/15 muffins.

Hope this helps! :)

The amount of bacteria in a petri dish increases at a rate proportional to the amount present. At time t=0, the amount of bacter
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used is N=N0e^(kt)

N0 - amount of bacteria at time 0, which is 10g

t=2, 30g

30 = 10*e^(k*2)

3 = e^(2k)

2k = ln3

k = 0.5ln3

At t=6:

N = 10*e^(0.5ln3*6)

N = 10e^(3ln3)

N = 10e^ln27

N = 10*27 =270

So the amount of bacteria at t=6 is 270

kati45 [8]

Answer:

438,012 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that each coupon code will have three letters followed by two digits. The letters M, N, and O and the digits 1, 3, 5, and 7 will not be used. So, there are 23 letters and 6 digits that will be used.

Since the letters and digits can be repeated, so we will use fundamental principal of counting.

For first place, we can use 23 letters, for 2nd and 3rd place we can use 23 letters.

We can use 6 digits for 1st digit place and 6 digit for 2nd digit place as repetition is allowed.

So we can choose coupon code is following ways:

23\cdot 23\cdot 23\cdot 6\cdot 6=438012

Therefore, we can choose coupon codes in 438,012 ways.
