Answer:
About 20.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.
48
__
10
That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).
100
___
x
Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.
Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).
48x=1000 Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.
About 20.8 minutes
Answer:
8022.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of years after 2010.
We have been given a population of fish in a lake is 14000 in 2010. The population decreases 6% annually.
We can see that population of fish is the lake is decreasing exponentially as it is decreasing 6% annually.
Since we know that an exponential function is in form: , where,
a = Initial value,
b = For decrease or decay b is in form (1-r) where r represents decay rate in decimal form.
Let us convert our given decay rate in decimal form.
Upon substituting our given values in exponential form of function we will get the population of fish in the lake after x years as:
Let us find x by subtracting 2010 from 2019.
Upon substituting x=9 in our function we will get,
Therefore, the population of fish in 2019 will be 8022.
