Answer

It will take (t) = 24 hours to reach 300 .

Step by step explanation

It doubles every 15 hours.  initial bacteria = 100

We need to find how long it take for the bacteria cells to increase to 300.

300 = 100(2)^t/15

300/100 = 2^t/15

3 = 2^t/5

Taking "ln" both sides, we get

ln(3) = t/15 ln(2)

t/15 = ln(3)/ln(2)

t/15 = 1.585

t = 1.585 * 15

t = 23.78 hours

t = 24 hours to nearest whole hours.

Thank you.

QUICK PLSS 1. Jabo orders a meal that cost $20.00.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$25.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost of the meal with the sales tax:

20 x 0.075 = 1.5

Add the sales tax to the total

20 + 1.5 = 21.50

Find the tip:

21.5 x 0.2 = 4.3

Add the tip to the total cost so far:

21.50 + 4.30 = 25.80

What is negation of any number
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

More informally: The two's complement of an integer is exactly the same thing as its negation. ... It means "to find the negation of a number (i.e., its two's complement) you flip every bit then add 1"
