Answer:

The snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the snail will climb 2 meters in 1 hour but it will slip down one meter for every 2 meters climbed, then the distance traveled will be:

d = 2 m - 1 m = 1 m                                        

Since in 1 hour, it climbs 2 meters minus 1 meter, the time in which the snail will reach the top is:

t = \frac{1 h}{1 m}*18 m = 18 h      

Therefore, the snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

I hope it helps you!

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Number of year in which population will be 180,000 = 6 year (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Population in 2007 = 168,979

Rate of increase in population = 1% = 0.01

Future population = 180,000

Find:

Number of year in which population will be 180,000

Computation:

A = P[1+r]ⁿ

Future population = Population in 2007[1+Rate of increase in population]ⁿ

180,000 = 168,979[1+0.01]ⁿ

180,000 = 168,979[1.01]ⁿ

1.06522 = [1.01]ⁿ

n = 6 (Approx.)

Number of year in which population will be 180,000 = 6 year (Approx.)

Art [367]
A.
the 2 quantaties are
ricky's distance and greg's distance
it should be total 8 miles

B. ricky distance=ricky rate times ricky time
ricky distance=1.5*3
ricky distance=4.5 miles

ricky distance+greg distance=8
4.5+gdistance=8
minus 4.5 both sides
gdistance=3.5

gdistance=grate time gtime
3.5=2 times time
divide both sides by 2
1.75=time
greg walked 1.75 hour

not sure how to do variable thing and what goes where

ricky walked 4.5 miles
greg walked 1.75 hour and traveled 3.5 miles
