Converting the mixed number to a decimal, the correct comparison of the numbers is given as follows:
<h3>What is a mixed number?</h3>
A mixed number is represented by an integer part and a fractional part, as follows:
a b/c.
In which:
- b/c is the fractional part.
In this problem, the numbers are given as follows:
The mixed number is:
100 and 2/8 = 100 + 0.25 = 100.25.
The square root is an increasing function, hence the higher the input, the higher the square root, as 180 > 100 the comparison is:

I'd personally go with A and C, The rest don't make too much sense. Don't count on my answer just yet though.
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Answer:
<em>C. 3.8 years</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth
</u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:
Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The actual population of deer in a forest is Po=800 individuals. It's been predicted the population will grow at a rate of 20% per year (r=0.2).
We have enough information to write the exponential model:
It's required to find the number of years required for the population of deers to double, that is, P = 2*Po = 1600. We need to solve for t:
Dividing by 800:
Taking logarithms:
Dividing by log 1.2:
Calculating:
t = 3.8 years
Answer: C. 3.8 years
