Answer:

The hourly growth rate is 0.58 (this is the rounded answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

FORMULA: A = Pe^rt

Shelly is a biologist who wants to determine the growth rate of a strain of bacteria. Shelly puts 85 bacteria into a controlled environment and waits 4 hours. When Shelly checks 4 hours later, there are 850 bacteria. What is the hourly growth rate of the bacteria? Let A be the amount of bacteria at the end of the study and P be the amount of bacteria at the beginning of the study. Let r be the growth rate and t be the time it took for the bacteria to grow.

This being said,

850 = 85e^4r

r=0.58

The hourly growth rate of bacteria is 191.25

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, initially Shelly put 85 bacteria and waits 4 hours

Amount of bacteria after 4 hours = 850

Now, number of bacteria increased = 850 bacteria – initial 85 bacteria  

Number of increased bacteria = 850 – 85 = 765 bacteria.

So, 765 bacteria were produced in 4 hours.

So hourly growth rate( per hour) can be found out by as follows:

\text { Hourly growth rate }=\frac{\text { number of bacteria increased }}{\text { number of hours }}

\text { Hourly growth rate }=\frac{765}{4}=191.25

Hence, the hourly growth rate of bacteria is 191.25

Alex runs on the track at school each weekday morning. If he runs 5.9 miles each day, about how much does he run every month?
Lisa [10]
Now, since we know that 5.9 is the amount of miles per day, we need to determine how many miles per month.

Usually, there are 20 days...because of no weekdays

Multiply.

5.9 * 20 = 118

Final answer:- He runs 118 miles per month.
