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.

A certain smartphone family plan costs $55 per month plus additional usage costs. If x is the number of cell phone used above th
Marina CMI [18]
First thing to do, is organize in your mind what is asked of the problem. Since the problem talks about total cost, then you are dealing with monetary units of measurement. Next, you investigate on the variables given and what they represent. Looking at the following expressions, I could not immediately get a hint on what these terms stand for. But for letter c, I deduced that that would be the overall equation representing the total cost.

The first term, 0.25x, must be the cost of the phone units purchased under the plan . That means each cellphone unit used costs $0.25 each. The second term, 2y, must be the cost of data used by the plan. So, that means each megabyte used up costs $2. These two costs must be what is referred to by the additional costs. Lastly, the last term, '55'. is the fixed cost when you subscribe to the amount per month. Hence, the equation in letter C represents the total cost per month.

Jenna can type 140 words in 4 minutes. If she needs to type 385 words, how long would this take her? Explain how you got your an
bija089 [108]

Answer:

11 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she types only 140 words in 4 minutes so if you add

140+140=280

if you divide

140/4 you get 35

so every minute she types in 35 words. So multiply

11 times 35 and you exactly get 385.

You make $5000 per morth. If you spend 50% on necessitles, 30% on stuff you want and 20% of it you end up saving, how much money
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$1000 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

5000 dollars is 100 percent so we put 5000 over 100

5000/100

then since we need to find 20 percent of something, we put x over 20

x/20

Then we cross multiply

<u>5000</u>      times       <u>x   </u>            

100                        20

so 100x = 100000

and x = 1000

Good luck, and hope I did this correctly
