Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 2 people on day 1. On day 2 each one of them tells 2 other people, which means 4 new people are told the rumor. We can use the formula p(d)= n + n^n + n^(n+1) + n^(n+2).... d times, where p(d) is the number of people told the rumor on the day d, n being the Number of people told by each person every day, as well as the initial people. So the formula is

p(5)= 2 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + 2^5 = 2+4+8+16+32 = 62

62 people are told the rumor on the fifth day.

A 72,000 gallon water tower is being drained. Two thousand gallons are drained in the first hour. How many hours will it take to
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

To drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 72,000 water tower is being drained, and in an hour 2000 gallons are drained.

Now, to calculate the hours it would take to drain total 72,000 gallons of water, we should divide the gallons of water drained in one hour by total gallons of water in the tower.

Gallons of total water in the tower ÷ Gallons of water drained per hour

72000\div 2000

=\ 36

Therefore, to drain the water tower it will take 36 hours.
