The population of a town has approximately doubled every 17 years since 1950.
the equation P=
where Po is the population of the town in 1950, is used to model the population, P, of the town t years after 1950.
When t=17 yrs
P=2
for 1 year
The equation becomes
P = 
-------------(1)
Our original equation is
----------------------------------(2)
equating expression 1 and 2
Cancelling 
from both sides we get
t/17=k
⇒k=t/17 is the solution.
Answers:
1.) 18 lemons
2.) 80 minutes
Explanation:
Porportions are a lot like fractions. For the first question, you can make the fraction 6/8, or 3/4 simplified. This means that for every 8 cups of water, you need 6 lemons.
Then, to find the amount of lemons you need if you have 24 cups of water, you need to think about what×8= 24. If we divide 24 by 8, we get 3, so if we multiply our fraction by 3/3, we should get the answer.
If we do 6/8 × 3/3, we get 18/24. This means that we need 18 lemons if we were to use 24 cups of water.
For the next question, our fraction 15/60, for 15 cakes baked in 60 minutes. Now we need to divide 20 cakes by 15.
This question is a little different from the first one because there will be a decimal involved. If we do 20/15, we get 1⅓. This means that this time, we will multiply 15/60 by (1⅓)/(1⅓).
If we multiply 60 by 1⅓, we get 80, which is the number of minutes needed to bake 20 cakes.
Hope this helps :)
6+8+5=19
Probability= 8/19=0.42= 42% of picking green.
