recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.


we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 12&1\\ 18&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{18}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 12x=18\implies x=\cfrac{18}{12}\implies x=\cfrac{3}{2}


so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.

then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.

let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.

the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Hector&d&12&t+\frac{3}{2}\\[1em] Wanda&d&16&t \end{array}\qquad \implies \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)\\[1em] d=(16)(t) \end{cases}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{d} in the 2nd equation}}{\boxed{(12)\left( t+\frac{3}{2} \right)}=16t}\implies 12t+18=16t \\\\\\ 18=4t\implies \cfrac{18}{4}=t\implies \cfrac{9}{2}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{four and a half hours}}{4\frac{1}{2}=t}

A certain bacterial culture is multiplying in a culture dish, doubling in size every 6 minutes. It takes exactly an hour to fill
Furkat [3]
Doubling in size,

if the whole dish is filled in an hour (all of it)
how long does it take to fill 1/2 dish?

notice that
1/2 doubled=1/2 times 2=2/2=1 whole dish
therefor it only doubled one more time from the 1/2 point

1hour=all
1hour-6mins=1/2 dish

1hour-6mins=60-6=54 minutes


answer is 54 minutes

HELLPPPPP PLS INCLUDE EXPLANATION ON HOW TO DO IT SO I CAN DO IT ON MY OWN!!!!

Answer: 0.000021 in scientific notation is

2.1 × 10-5

Step-by-step explanation:

All numbers in scientific notation or standard form are written in the form

m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.

To convert 0.000021 into scientific notation, follow these steps:

Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 2.1, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -5

Write in the scientific notation form m × 10n

= 2.1 × 10-5

Therefore,

2.1 × 10-5 is the scientific notation form of 0.000021 number and 2.1e-5 is the scientific e-notation form for 0.000021

** Hope this helps you! Good Luck!

How do u regroup when u find the sum of 64+43
Anarel [89]
What we are going to do is use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This distributive the numbers, to make it easier to solve.

So we will break 64 up.

64 = 60 + 4

43 = 40 + 3

60 + 40 = 100

4 + 3 = 7

100 + 7 = 107

So, 64 + 43 = 107.

Hope I helped ya!!!!!!!
