1 gallon is 8 pints. So 14 pints would be more than 1 gallon. 2 pints make 1 quart and it takes 4 quarts for a gallon. 14 pints is 7 quarts which is more than 1 gallon. 1 gallon is not greater than 14 pints.

For this you can write equations for your business and your friend's. For your's it would be y=10x-25 and for your friend's it would be y=13x-55. Now at this point you can just plug in numbers until you match up. Your answer would be 10, if you want to you can plug it in to check.

What is the solution to the proportion?8/16=x/10

ehidna [41]

X=5

Because 8/16=x/10 8 is half of 16 so it is equal to the same amount as 5/10

You can simplify them both down to one fraction 1/2

Hope that I could help you

In a parenting magazine, Mrs. Smith read an advertisement about all the different ways that bleach can be used to kill bacteria.

babymother [125]

Question:

(a) How many bacteria would be found in 24 hours

(b) How many bacteria would be found in 2 days

(c) How long for 1000 bacteria to be found

Answer:

(a) 282429536481 bacteria

(b) $7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

(c) 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The question illustrates an exponential function

$y = ab^x$

Where

$a = Initial\ Value = 1$

$b=Rate = 3$ --- i.e. triples

$x = number\ of\ hours$

Solving (a): Bacteria in 24 hours

In this case:

$x = 24$

Substitute $x = 24$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{24$

$y = 1 * 282429536481$

$y = 282429536481$ bacteria

Solving (b): Bacteria in 2 days

$2\ days =48\ hours$

So:

$x = 48$

Substitute $x = 48$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{48$

$y =7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

Solving (c): How long for 1000 bacteria

In this case:

$y = 1000$

Substitute $y = 1000$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$1000 = 1 *3^x$

$1000 = 3^x$

Take Log of both sides

$Log1000 = Log3^x$

This gives:

$Log1000 = xLog3$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{Log1000}{Log3}$

$x \approx 6$

<em>Hence: It takes 6 days</em>
