I think its 1.25ft but i could be wrong... sorry if im wrong
Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are
lilypads on the 30th, and
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
14, 15, 20 | 2
7, 15, 10 | 2
7, 15, 5 | 3
7, 5, 5 | 5
7, 1, 1 | 7
1, 1, 1
Answer:
× 3 × 5 × 7 = 420
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
Multiplication would be first
Answer 6 hours
Reason
7x + 9.50 = 55
-9.50. -9.50 subtract from both sides
_____________
7x = 45.50
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
X = 6.5
So he can rent for 6 hours (the .5 would be charged as a full hour per the problem)
