Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Decimal form: 0.75
Gianna=3x
Xavier=x
since x=4, than multiply 4 by 3 and you get 12 miles.
Gianna skied 12 miles.
Hope this helped!! :D
To find the number of girls signed up for camp, we just subtract the number of boys from to total number of children. There are 132 boys and 219 children, which gives us
219 - 132 = 87 girls. To find how many boys there are than girls, we just find the difference between the 132 boys and 87 girls by subtracting again:
132 - 87 = 45 more girls than boys.
Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
Answer:
rate of change can be used in a real life problem such as the rate that a pool fills up with water.
