The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr
<h3>What is the rate the ice changes?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb
Time = 1/4 hr.
The rate the ice changes is calculated as:
Rate = Change/Time
So, we have
Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)
Evaluate the difference
Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)
Evaluate the quotient
Rate = -3/8 lb per hr
Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
average 9 pounds per three weeks
divide 9 in 3 three weeks
3 pounds per week
7 times 3 is 21
Answer:
2400 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Tyler asks for a fish tank for his birthday. The task he wants is a rectangular prism 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. How much water will the fish tank hold?
the capacity of the tank can be determined by calculating the volume of the tank
volume of a prism = length x width x height
20 x 10 x 12 = 2400 in^3

Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
