To represent this scenario, you will look at what is happening mathematically and represent it.
Beginning with 5, this will double each day, so 5 x 2 is the deposit.
Then, this amount will double, so (5 x 2) x 2 is the deposit.
Next this will double, and so on.
What is happening is that it is always doubling the previous day's deposit, so x 2 x 2 x 2, etc... you will use exponents to show the number of days that it doubled.
y = 5 x 2^x
1
is the answer you're looking for.
So first of all we can't start by changing them both into improper fractions
So it would be:
5/2 divided by 13/8
From there you would do 5/2 * 8/13 which could convert to
5/1 * 4/13 which would be 20/13
Answer:
260 jawbreakers
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 5:13 so if the value of Jolly ranchers increased 20x then the number of jawbreakers would also increase by 20x. There are 260 jawbreakers.
