This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
Hello!
Throughout this problem, we will add or subtract values from our original balance.
In your checkbook, there was 298.72 dollars, and then you deposited 425.69 dollars. The function you would do is addition.
$298.72 + 425.69 = $724.41
If you wrote a check, then the amount you wrote is removed from your checkbook.
$724.41 - $29.72 - $135.47- $208.28 = $350.94
Then, the bank deducted 5 dollars from your account.
$350.94 - $5.00 = $345.94
This leaves you with $345.94 at the end of the week.
Therefore, your answer is choice C, $345.94.
B 2/10 is not simplified because you can divide each number by 2 reducing it to 1/5.
Answer:
Franco comió 8/3 de pizza.
Fabián comió 5/6 de pizza.
Queremos saber quien comió más.
Entonces básicamente queremos ver cuál número es más grande, 8/3 o 5/6,
Podemos reescribir el primero como:
8/3 = (2 + 3 + 3)/3 = 2/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 = 2/3 + 1 + 1
= 2 + 2/3
En cambio, para el número 5/6, el numerador es menor que el denominador, entonces sabemos que:
5/6 < 1
Claramente podemos ver que 8/3 > 5/6
Entonces podemos concluir que Franco comió más.
