Since the number 2 is being taken to the xth power, we know that when x increases by one, f(x) is being multiplied by 2. Therefore, the number is doubling every hour.
There are many ways you can do this. To me, the easiest way is cross multiplying, but since the denominators are the same, there is no need to do that. Also, the fractions are negatives, the one closest to 0 is closer to the surface of the pool -4/5 = -2/5 in this case -2/5 is closer to the surface of the pool.

Diego can choose the 15 items in 128 different ways.

Since at the grocery store, Diego has narrowed down his selections to 4 vegetables, 8 fruits, 6 cheeses, and 4 whole grain breads, and he wants to use the Express Lane, so he can only buy 15 items, to determine how many ways can he choose which 15 items to buy if he wants all 6 cheeses the following calculation must be performed:
4 x 4 x 8 = X
16 x 8 = X
128 = X
Therefore, Diego can choose the 15 items in 128 different ways.
