Caitlin has 4 and 3/4 lb of place use 1 1/10 pound to make a cup and another 2 pounds to make a jar how many pounds are left

1 answer:

7 0

We know that
4 3/4---------> (4*4+3)/4----------> 19/4
1 1/10-----------> (10*1+1)/10----> 11/10

[pounds left]=[(19/4)-(11/10)-(2)]----> (10*19-4*11-40*2)/40
=(190-44-80)/40-------> 66/40---------> 1.65 pounds
1.65-----> 1 65/100--------> 1 13/20 pounds

the answer is 1.65 pounds (1 13/20 pounds)

monitta

Answer: $1.663\times 10^{30}\ gm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population of dust particle doubles every 30 minutes

If the initial sample is 21 grams

The model to predict the population will be

$\Rightarrow P=21\cdot 2^{2t}$

Where t=time in hours

A day has 24 hours . So, for 2 days time is 48 hours

Population is given by

$\Rightarrow P=21\cdot 2^{2\times 48}\\\\\Rightarrow P=21\times 2^{96}\\\\\Rightarrow P=1.663\times 10^{30}\ gm$

Please help explain how to solve problem 16?

Anarel [89]

Here is the problem.....√(15x + 10) = 2x+3

to remove the square root, we do the opposite which is to square everything.

(√(15x + 10))² = (2x + 3)² (the square negates the square root)
15x + 10 = (2x +3)(2x + 3) (use the distributive property to continue)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 6x + 6x + 9 (combine like terms)
15x + 10 = 4x² + 12x + 9 (subtract 15x and 10 from each side)
-15x - 10 -15x - 10
0 = 4x² - 3x - 1 (factor completely)
(x - 1) (4x + 1) (set each to equal 0)

x - 1 = 0 4x + 1 = 0
x = 1 4x = -1
x = -1/4

place both into the equation to check for reasonableness...we see the negative number is not reasonable, but the x value of 1 is a solution.

answer is 1

The largest frog in the world is the goliath,found in west africa. It can grow to be 12 inches long. The smalest in the world is

denis23 [38]

Answer:

4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The largest frog in the world is goliath which is 12 inches long.

The smallest frog is about 2.5 as long as the goliath.

Lets assume the length of smallest frog be "x".

As given, smallest frog is about 2.5 as long as the goliath.

∴ we can form equation as $2.5x= 12\ inches$
