<span>1 pound = 16 ounces
so 60 pounds = 60 x 16 = 960 ounces.
$6.60/960 =0.006875 per ounce.
0.006875 x 16 ounces = 0.11 (11 cents per pound)

<span>3 pounds x 0.11= 33 cents

answer is B</span></span>

A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If the hei

The movement of the ping pong ball follows a exponential progression.

The expression for the k-th bounce is: $\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}$
The height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ft
The total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.
There will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.

<u>1. Ping pong ball</u>

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{a = 235}$ --- the initial height

$\mathbf{r = 75\%}$ --- the common ratio

<u>(a) The expression after bouncing k times</u>

To do this, we make use of

$\mathbf{T_n = a \times r^n}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{T_n = 235 \times (0.75)^n}$

In this case; k = n.

So, the equation becomes

$\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}$

Hence, the expression for the k-th bounce is: $\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}$

<u />

<u>(b) The height after bouncing 6 times</u>

This means that k = 6.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}$

$\mathbf{T_6 = 235 \times (0.75)^6}$

$\mathbf{T_6 = 41.82}$

Hence, the height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ft

<u>(c) The total distance after the 12th bounce</u>

First, we calculate the total height after the 12th bounce using:

$\mathbf{S_k = \frac{a(1 - r^k)}{1 - r}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (1 - 0.75^{12})}{1 - 0.75}}$

$\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (0.968)}{0.25}}$

$\mathbf{S_k = 909.92}$

So, the total distance is:

$\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times S_k - a}$

$\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times 909.92 - 235}$

$\mathbf{Distance = 1584.84}$

Hence, the total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.

<u>(2) Cell division</u>

The given parameters are:

<em /> $\mathbf{r = 2/2hr}$ <em> --- rate</em>

<em /> $\mathbf{a = 120}$ <em> --- initial number of cells</em>

<em /> $\mathbf{t = 18}$ <em> --- number of 2 hours is a day and a half</em>

<em />

So, the number of bacteria is:

$\mathbf{T_t = ar^t}$

This gives

$\mathbf{T_t = 120 \times 2^{18}}$

$\mathbf{T_t = 31457280}$

Hence, there will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.
