Answer:

The answer is a)The growth factor of bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exercise equation, the number 500 represents the slope, and the slope indicates the amount by which the value of the variable is increased or decreased and, when the variable t increases by one unit. In this case, 500 represents the growth factor of bacteria. This increase is presented when the value of the slope is positive and the decrease when the opposite case occurs. If the slope takes the value of zero, the line of the equation is horizontal, therefore, neither increases nor decreases.

The amount of time it takes to cook a turkey increases with the weight of the turkey. it is recommended that you cook a 10-lb tu
nadezda [96]
Answer:
The weight of the turkey is related linearly to the time taken to cook it, however, they are not proportional to each other.

Explanation:
1- Direct proportional means that when the weight of the turkey increases, the time required to cook it increase with the same amount, and vice versa
2- Inverse proportional means that when the weight of the turkey increases, the time required to cook it decrease, and vice versa
2- No proportionality relation means that the two are not related to each other.

Now, for the given problem, we are given that:
i. 10lb turkey takes 3 hours to cook
ii. an additional 12 minutes is added for every extra 1lb of turkey

Therefore:
If we have 10lb turkey ......> time required = 3 hr
If we have 11lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min
If we have 12lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min + 12 min
If we have 13lb turkey .......> time required = 3 hr + 12 min + 12 min + 12 min
Noticing the pattern, we can find that:
time required to cook the turkey increases as the weight of the turkey increases but not at the same rate.
This means that when the weight of the turkey is doubled, the time increases, however, it is not doubled.
This means that the weight of the turkey is related linearly to the time taken to cook it, however, they are not proportional to each other.

Hope this helps :)

An 8-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of rolling a 1 or even number
leonid [27]

The probability of rolling a 1 or an even number is 5/8.

If there are 8 sides of the die from numbers 1-8, the numbers of the probability are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8. That makes 5 numbers out of 8 possible numbers. So, the probability is 5/8.(62.5%)
