Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We wish to eliminate the unit of measurement "miles," ending up with the number of days on which LeRoy ran.

Recall that distance = rate times time. Here

distance

-------------- = time

rate

Plugging in the appropriate quantities (given in the problem statement),

15 miles 15 3

----------------------- = -------- days = -------- days = 24 days

(5/8) (mi/day) 5/8 1/8

The population of a town is 12,000, and it grows at a rate of 5% per year. Write an exponential function in the form <img src="h

Ksivusya [100]

Answer: Exponential function: $y=12000(1.05)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function: $y=ab^x$ , a = initial value , x= time, b= growth factor , b= 1+r , where r=rate of growth.

Given: Initial population = a= 12,000,

rate of growth = r= 5% = 0.05

Then, b= 1+r= 1+ 0.05 = 1.05

Substitute value of a and b in (i), we get

$y=12000(1.05)^x$

Hence, The required exponential function: $y=12000(1.05)^x$ , where x= time.

DaniilM [7]

In the figure,ABC is congruent to ADC . If the square ABCD is dilated by a factor of 2 to form A'B'C'D', the ratio of the area of A'B'C'D' to the area of ABCD is 1/2. Since the dilation is by a factor of 2, so the area of the A'B'C'D' should be smaller than the area of ABCD.
