Answer:

Each peice is 1 1/3 (4/3) long.

Step by step explanation:

10 2/3 divided by 8

10 2/3 = 32/3

32/3 divided by 8 = 32/3 x 1/8

32 times 1 = 32, 3 times 8 = 24 =32/24

32/24 in simplest form is 4/3 (aka 1 1/3)

Hope this helped! :)

Mateo is culturing bacteria that have a growth rate of 5.3% per hour. If the current population is 38,762 bacteria, how many bac

Taya2010 [7]

..Given:

$\begin{gathered} a=38762 \\ r=5.3\%=\frac{5.3}{100}=0.053 \\ t=20 \end{gathered}$

To Determine: The number of bacteria after 20 hours

Using the future value formula for growth rate

$\begin{gathered} P_a=P_c(1+r)^t \\ P_a=(Bacteria,final,population) \\ P_c(Bacteria,current,population)=38762 \\ r(rate)=0.053,t(time,in,hour)=20 \end{gathered}$

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} P_a=38762(1+0.053)^{20} \\ P_a=38762(1.053)^{20} \\ P_a=38762(2.809101) \\ P_a=108886.39 \\ P_a\approx108886 \end{gathered}$

Hence, population of bacteria in 20 hours is 108,886

In mathematics, an irrational number is a number that can not be expressed as a fraction m / n, where m and n are integers and n is different from zero.

For example, the number π is an irrational number.
