<span>If the intial count was 100,000 bacteria, after one hour 90% decrease => 10 % stands => 100,000*0.1 bacetria. After two hours 90% decrease => 10% stands => 100,000*0.1^2. After three hours, they stand 100,000 * 0.1^3. After four hours, 100,000*0.1^4 and after five hours 100,000*0.1^5 = 1 bacteria. Answer: 1 bacteria. If the inital count is different you just have to muliply the inicial count time (0.1^n) to get the number of bacteria after n hours, and if the number of hours is 5, then the factor is (0.1^5). </span>

For this case we have a function of the form:

y = A * (b) ^ x

Where,

A: initial amount of bacteria:

b: decrease rate

x: time in hours

Substituting values we have:

y = 100 * (0.90) ^ x

After 5 hours we have:

y = 100 * (0.90) ^ 5\\y = 59.049

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

y = 59

Answer:

the bacterium count after 5 hours was:

y = 59

A recipe requires 1\4 of a cup of cranberries for 1 batch. How many beaches of scones can be made using 6 1/2 cups of cranberrie
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch is 1/4 cups of cranberries.

This means that we have to find the number of groups of 1/4 in  6 1/2 cups to find the number of batches.

(The decimal forms of these numbers are 6.5 and 0.25)

6.5/0.25=26

There are 26 batches

Find the amount and present value of 10 quarterly payments of $ 1500, if the interest rate is 25% compounded each month.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Given Information:

Monthly payment = MP = $1500/4 = $375

Monthly interest rate = r = 25/12 = 2.083%

Required Information:

Present Value = ?

Answer:

PV = \$10,110

Explanation:

n = 10*4

n = 40 monthly payments

The present value is found by

$ PV = MP \times  \frac{ (1 - \frac{1}{(1+r)^n} )}{r}  $

Where r is monthly interest rate.

MP is the monthly payment.

$ PV = 375 \times  \frac{ (1 - \frac{1}{(1+0.02083)^{40}} )}{0.02083}  $

PV = 375 \times (26.96)

PV = \$10,110

Therefore, $10,110 is the present value of 10 quarterly payments of $1500 each at 25% interest rate compounded each month.
