Width = w
height = h
so w = (2/3) * h
(The perimeter surrounding it)
2w + 2h = 310
2((2/3) * h) + 2h = 310
4h/3 + 2h = 310
10h/3 = 310
10h = 930
h = 93 feet
w = (2/3) * 93
w = 62 feet
It triples in size every 4 days. In 16 days it will be 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 times bigger.
3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81
Therefore, after 16 days, the colony will contain (81 * 150) or 12,150 microorganisms.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x -----> the number of hours worked
y ----> the amount paid in dollars
In this problem we have a proportional variation, between two variables, x, and y
<em>Find out the constant of proportionality k</em>
For (5,300) ----->
----> 
For (4,240) ----->
----> 
For (6,360) ----->
----> 
The constant k is

The equation is equal to

The unit rate of change of dollars with respect to time is equal to the constant of proportionality or slope of the linear equation
therefore

The answer is -8. Do you need an explanation?
Will equal 8 times that same number. This is because you have 6x and are subtracting -2x. Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive.
