212°F
147°F
23.2 min
1) Initial temperature for t=0
T(0)=68+144e^(0)=68+144=212°F
2) After 15 min
T(15)=68+144e^(-0.04*15)=68+144e^(-0.6)=147°F
3) 125°F -> t=?
125=68+144e^(-0.04t)
144e^(-0.04t)=125-68=57
e^(-0.04t)=57/144=0.4 you can apply ln on both sides:
-0.04t=ln(0.4) solving you get t=23.3 min
3/10 or 30/100 are left handed boys bc that is 30% converted into a fraction
Answer:
Runner-up: $15,000
Winner: $75,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation for this problem.
Let x=the amount the runner-up receives
Let 5x=the amount the winner receives
Then,
x+5x=90,000
6x=90,000
x=15,000
5x=75,000
"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow
_____
One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.
