Answer:

D. 504

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days = x

Now, the number of students doubles each day for the two weeks with the initial number of students having measles = 8.

So, we have,

Days (x)                  Cases doubled                      Number of Students

1                                       8                                                8

2                                      8 × 2                                         16

3                                      16 × 2                                        32

4                                      32 × 2                                       64

So, we get the geometric series as 8, 16, 32, 64,...... for two weeks.

Then, the common ratio = \frac{16}{8}=\frac{32}{16} = 2

Thus, Number of students = 8\times \frac{(1-2^6)}{1-2}

i.e. Number of students = 8\times \frac{(1-64)}{-1}

i.e. Number of students = 8\times \frac{(-63)}{-1}

i.e. Number of students = 8 × 63 = 504

Hence, the number of students having measles at the end of the 6th day are 504.

the length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4cm, what is the area of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = 10.27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the width as x,

therefore since the length is 4 more than 3 times the width, it can be represent as 3x + 4,   Perimeter = 18.4cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B)

18.4= 2(3x+4+x)\\18.4= 6x+8+2x\\18.4-8=6x+2x\\10.4=8x\\x=\frac{10.4}{8}\\x=1.3

width = 1.3cm

Length = 3x + 4 = 3*1.3 + 4 = 7.9cm

Area of a rectangle = length x width

A = 7.9 * 1.3 = 10.27cm²
