8/20 of a minute or 2/5 of a minute
This can be solve by 3 variable equation
let x be the money of luke
y money of rachel
z money of daniel
first equation
x = y + 21
second equation
x = z + 48
third equation
x + y + z = 168
solving simultaneously
x =79
y = 58
z = 31
1/5 goes into 37 185 times:
37 / (1/5) = 37*(5/1)=185
Once you remember the definition of a log, the answer to this question will literally fall out of your pencil.
First, ' Ln ' means 'natural log' ... logs to the base of ' e '.
Definition of the natural log of a number:
In order to get the number, what power do I have to raise ' e ' to ?
OK. What power do you have to raise ' e ' to in order to get 1/e² ?
Isn't 1/e² the same thing as e⁻² ?
So, in order to get 1/e² , you have to raise ' e ' to the -2 power .
In math-speak: Ln(1/e²) = <em><u>-2</u></em> .
