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.

(17 Leon uses 3/4 cup water to make a serving of iced tea.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A.) 12 3/4 cups

B.) 117 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>

If one serving of ice tea contains 3/4 cup of water, how much does 7 serving have?

To answer this, you must multiply 3/4 and 17

17 is the same as 17/1, so multiply the numerators and denominators

17 x 3 = 51

1 x 4 = 4

51/4 = 12 3/4

So, Leon used 51/4 or 12 3/4 cups of water

<u>Part B</u>

If the cooler has 88 servings of tea, how many cups of water does it have?

To solve this, divide 88 by 3/4

Dividing 88 by 3/4 is the same as multiplying 88 by 4/3.

Again, 88 is the same as 88/1 so multiply the numerators and the denominators.

88 x 4 = 352

1 x 3 = 3

352/3 = 117 1/3

So, there are 352/3 or 117 1/3 cups of water in the cooler

I hope this helps!
