The population of a bacteria colony is growing exponentially, doubling every 6 hours. If there are 150 bacteria currently presen

Answer:

If rounded to the nearest 10 bacteria, then it would be 500 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply 150 by two in order to get 300, that leaves 4 hours to figure out. From there you can figure out the rest by seeing that 4 is 2/3 of 6. I converted it into the decimal number .66. Multiply 300 by .66 to get 198 and then add it to 300 to get 498. Then just round it up to the nearest 10 bacteria which leaves you with the final answer of 500 bacteria.

1. Jemima wants to make chocolate chip walnut brownles. Chocolate chips come in a 12oz bag that costs $3. Walnuts
fomenos

Answer:

4 bags of chocolate chips and 1 bag of walnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many ounces are in 3 pounds:

16 oz = 1 lb

16 oz × 3 = 3 lbs

48 oz = 3 lbs

Variable x = number of chocolate chips

Variable y = number of walnuts

4x + 1y = 15

Keep in mind it must equal up to 48 oz and be $15 or under.

4 bags × 12 oz = 48 oz

1 bag × 4 oz = 4 oz

48 oz + 4 oz = 52 oz > 48 oz

4 bags × $3 = $12

1 bag × $2 = $2

$12 + $2 = $14 < $15

Both requirements have been met.

A boat traveled 240 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 24 hours. What is the speed
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

rate boat = 15 mph

rate current = 5 mph

explanation:

d = r * t

t = d/r

240 / (r_boat + current) = 12       Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.

240 = 12(r_boat + current)

240/ (r_boat - current) = 24       Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current

240 = 24*(r_boat - current)    

Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.

12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current)     Divide by 12

r_boat + current  = 2 (r_boat - current)             Remove the brackets.

r_boat  + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current          add 2 currents to both sides

r_boat  + 3currents = 2*r_boat                          Subtract r_boat both sides

3 currents = r_boat.

240 = 12*(r_boat + current.                               Divide by 12

20 = r_boat + current                                        Put 3 currents in for r_boat

20 = 3currents + 1 current                                Combine

20 = 4 currents                                                  Divide by 4

5 = current

The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour

3 currents = r_boat

3*5 = rate_boat

15 = rate of the boat
