Answer:

D. About 15.69 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that there  were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment and the growth rate was 7% per hour.

Since number of bacteria is growing exponentially, so we will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

The continuous exponential growth formula is in form: y=e^{kx}, where,

e= mathematical constant,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

7\%=\frac{7}{100}=0.07

Upon substituting our given values we will get exponential function for bacteria growth as: y=2,000*e^{0.07x}, where, y represents number of bacteria after x hours.

Since we need to figure out the number of hours it will take for there to be 6,000 bacteria, so we will substitute y= 6,000 in our function.

6,000=2,000*e^{0.07x}

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2,000.

\frac{6,000}{2,000}=\frac{2,000*e^{0.07x}}{2,000}

3=e^{0.07x}

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

\text{ln}(3)=ln(e^{0.07x})

\text{ln}(3)=0.07x

1.0986122=0.07x  

x=\frac{1.0986122}{0.07}  

x=15.69446\approx 15.69  

Therefore, it will take about 15.69 hours to be 6,000 bacteria and option D is the correct choice.

What percent is 608 of 845
Gnom [1K]
Well, we want to know what percent 608 is of 845, so to solve that, let's call 845 100%, as we're solving it terms of 845. 845 is 100%, then it follows that 8.45 is 1%. Now we can see how many 8.45's go into 608, which comes out to 71.95266...%, which can be rounded nicely to 72%

Arrange the steps in the correct order to perform this subtraction problem 1.1 ( 10 3 ) − 4.9 ( 10 2 ) = 610
Norma-Jean [14]

We are given :  Expression 1.1 ( 10^3 ) − 4.9 ( 10^2 ) = 610.

Solution: In order to solve above given expression, we need to apply order of operations.

We can apply order of operations according to PEMDAS rule.

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.

In the given problem, we need to simplify Parentheses first.

We have 10^3 and 10^2 in Parentheses.

10^3 = 10*10*10 = 1000.

10^2 = 10*10 = 100.

Substituting those values in original expression.

1.1 ( 1000 ) − 4.9 ( 100 ).

Now, we need to apply multiplication operation in 1.1*1000 and 4.9*100.

We get 1.1*1000 = 1100 and 4.9*100 = 490.

Substituting those values in above result we got.

1100-490.

Now, we can perform subtraction operation.

On subtracting 1100-490, we get 610.

And that is equal to 610.
