Paul is gathering data about moss growth in a local forest. He measured an area of 11 square centimeters on one particular tree

and will come back in 6 months to measure the growth of the moss. If the area covered by moss multiplies by one and a half times each month, approximately how much area will the moss cover when Paul returns?

If you so 11 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 you get approximately 125.2969cm squared

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area that moss cover when Paul returns is:

              125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The initial area that is measured by Paul about moss growth in a local forest is:  11 square centimeters.

We know that the increase in the area covered by moss is increasing exponentially.

Since each month it is increasing by a fixed constant 1.5 times as it was the previous month.

Hence, the function which represents the area covered by moss in x months is:

     A(x)=11\times (1.5)^x

We are asked to find the value of function when x=6

i.e.

A(x)=11\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\times 1.5\\\\\\A(x)=125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

            Hence, the answer is:

            125.296875\ \text{square\ centimeters}

You multiply it with the same number you use for the denominator.
in this case 3/4 and 7/10
you find the LCM of the denominator is 20
so for 4 to become 20 you multiply by 5 then for the numerator 3 also multiply by 5, so you get 15/20
its the same also with 7/10, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get 14/20
hope it help... :)

You pawn a guitar and receive $880. One month later, you get the guitar back by paying $1250. If this is simple interest, then w
Lemur [1.5K]
Interest=1250-880=370
I=PRT
P=principal
r=rate in deicmal
t=time in years

1 month so t=1/12
P=880
I=370

370=880*r*1/12
370=220/3r
times both sides by 3
1110=220r
divdie both sides by 220
