Wes works at a science lab that conducts experiments on bacteria. The population of the bacteria multiplies at a constant rate,

and his job is to notate the population of a certain group of bacteria each hour. At 1 p.m. on a certain day, he noted that the population was 2,000 and then he left the lab. He returned in time to take a reading at 4 p.m., by which point the population had grown to 250,000. Now he has to fill in the missing data for 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. What was the population at 3 p.m.?

Answer:

Correct answer: at 2 p.m. the population was 10,000

                          at 3 p.m. the population was 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

At 1 p.m. population was 2,000

At 2 p.m. or after  first hour, the population of bacteria increases

in this way 2,000 · k  

At 3 p.m. or after second hour, the population of bacteria increases

2,000 · k²

At 4 p.m. or after third hour, the population of bacteria increases 2,000 · k³

2,000 · k³ = 250,000 =>  k³ = 250,000 / 2,000 = 125

k = ∛125 = 5  => k = 5

At 2 p.m. or after  first hour, the population of bacteria was 2,000 · 5 = 10,000

At 3 p.m. or after second hour, the population of bacteria was 2,000 · 5² =

= 2,000 · 25 = 50,000

Answer:

S = 50w + 75

Step-by-step explanation:

After each week, Mike gains $50.

Letting w = 0 gives us the amount he started with. In this case, that would be $75.

Therefore, the equation is S = 50w + 75.

5, 4 7/8, 4 9/10 in order least to greatest
Klio2033 [76]

The order from least to greatest is 4 7/ 8, 4 9/ 10 , 5

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

Fractions are simply representatives of part of a whole.

The types of fraction are;

  • Mixed fractions
  • Simple fractions
  • Improper fractions
  • Proper fractions

From the information given, we have to arrange in order from least to greatest

5, 4 7/8, 4 9/10

Turn mixed fractions to improper fractions;

5, 39/ 8 , 49/ 10

From least to greatest is written thus;

39/ 8, 49/ 10 , 5

Thus, the order from least to greatest is 4 7/ 8, 4 9/ 10 , 5
