Jonathan has 3/4 pound of grapes. How many 1/8 pound servings can he make from his grapes.

1 answer:

3 0

6 servings. 1/8 +1/8 is 2/8 or 1/4 of a pound. Meaning that after 2 serving we still have only 1/4 of the amount of grapes leaving us with 2/4 more. So we would need 4 more 1/8’s making it a total of 6 servings. 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=6/8 or simplified 3/4.

Answer:

$B=2\times 3^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growing </u>

Steven currently reads 2 books a year. He wants to triple the number of books read per year. The first year he should read

$2*3 = 6\ books$

By the second year, he should read

$2*3^2 = 18\ books$

By the third year, he should read

$2*3^3 = 54\ books$

We can clearly see there is a geometric progression of the number of books he should read for the year n. The general formula is, being B the number of books read at the year n

$\boxed{B=2\times 3^n}$
