Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first day the population will decrease to 1530, then 1500 the day 2, 1470 day 3, and so on ...

For decrease and get less than 1000 the mold population needs to be reduced in at least 560. The questions turns to be, how many days will it take to reduce the population in 560 spores?

If we divide 560 between 30 it will gives us the answer:

560/30 = 18.667

So, it is need to wait 19 days. In 18 days only 540 spores are reduced. In 19 days 570. We will say 19 days as we are looking (I guess) for an integer number.

Stephanie surveyed the students in her class to find out their favorite color. her results are in the table. what percent of Ste
wariber [46]
Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of classmates out of the entire class who did not choose blue as their favorite color and then convert it into a percentage. 

First, let's find the fraction:

Since there are 25 total people in her class, since

6 + 9 + 10 = 25

25 is the denominator of the fraction;

Since there are 16 people who did not choose blue,

6 + 10 = 16

16 is the numerator of the fraction. 

So, our fraction is 16/25. 

Now, we need to convert it into a percentage. To do this, we need to make the denominator 100 by multiplying it by a certain number, and then multiplying the numerator by that same number so the fraction stays equal:

16/25 
= 16*4/25*4
= 64/100
= 64%

So, the answer is 64% of Stephanie's classmates.

Hope this helps!
