You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that X - the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.
Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches
We have to find the percentile
X = 74.2
Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6
P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%
i.e. only 5% are below him in height.
Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.
It would use 2.83 gallons of gas for a 2 hour trip
Answer: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 16 = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
16 + 2x + -3x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
16 + -1x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
16 + -1x = -12 + 0
16 + -1x = -12
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1x = -12 + -16
-1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: -12 + -16 = -28
-1x = -28
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 28
Simplifying
x = 28
