For this case we have to:

n: Represents the weight of Mary in Kg.

If your sister weighs 15 kg less we have:

y = n-15

Where "y" represents the weight of his sister in kg.

To find how many times Mary is heavier than her sister, we must divide Mary's weight by her sister's weight.

We have then:

N= \frac{n}{n-15}

Answer:

Mary is N= \frac{n}{n-15} times heavier than her sister.

<u>Answer</u>:

Mary weighs\frac{n}{(n-15)}heavier than her sister.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we have given the data  in the question that  

Weight of marry = n kg

Weight of Marry sister = n-15 kg

Let Marry be ‘K' times heavier than her sister then it means that  

K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

And we can write the above equation as

K(n-15) = n

K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

which completely explains the above statement that Weight of the marry is K times the weight of her sister.

So the correct answer is  K=\frac{n}{(n-15)}

What is the rate of decay for the function f(x) =2(0.95)^x ( x is on top of the parentheses)
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The decay rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function  

f(t) = P(1 - \frac{r}{100})^{t} ........... (1)

Comparing this equation with the original equation given as

f(x) = 2(0.95)^{x} ............ (2) we get,

(1 - \frac{r}{100}) = 0.95

⇒ \frac{r}{100} = 0.05

⇒ r = 5%.

Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)
