Answer:

22.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bacteria is modelled by the equation:

P=P_0e^{rt}

From the the question, the initial population of bacteria is 720.

So after 26 hours, we have:

P=2P_0

This implies that:

2P_0=P_0e^{26r}

2=e^{26r}

26r =  ln(2)

r =  \frac{ ln(2) }{26}

r = 0.0267

We want to find how long it will take for there to be 1310 bacteria present.

1310=720e^{0.0267t}

\frac{1310}{720}  =  {e}^{0.0267t}

\ln(\frac{1310}{720})  = {0.0267t}

0.59853= {0.0267t}  \\ t =  \frac{0.59853}{0.0267}

t = 22.417

To the nearest tenth , it will take 22.4 hours

Find the surface area of the figure.<br> 12 in.<br> SA = [ ? ]in.?<br> 5 in.<br> 16 in.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

SA = 664 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)

Where,

Length (L) = 16 in.

Width (W) = 5 in.

Height (H) = 12 in.

Substitute the values

Surface area of the rectangular prism = 2(16*5 + 16*12 + 5*12)

= 2(80 + 192 + 60)

= 2(332)

= 664 in.²

a man has 25 coins in his pocket all of which are dimes and quarters. if the total value of his change is 430 cents, how many di
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:16 quarters and 3 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

430/25 (Quarters) = 17

25x16

(Because you can’t have 17 since 25x17=425 leaving no room for dimes.)

=400

Now 430-400=30

30 more cent is needed,

30/10(Dime value)

Is 3, so the answer is the man has 16 quarters and 3 dimes
