Answer: 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation showing the value of the bag after x years is C=25(1.025)^x

If the price of the bag increased by 2.5%, from the equation, we can deduce that

Initial cost of the bag is 25

Double of the initial value is 50

Insert it in the equation

\Rightarrow 50=25(1.025)^x\\\Rightarrow 2=1.025^x\\\text{Taking natural log}\\\Rightarrow \ln 2=x\ln (1.025)\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln 2}{\ln 1.025}\\\\\Rightarrow x=28.07\approx 28

It will take 28 years

A bag with 2 1/2 quarts of peanuts can make 2 1/6 jars of peanut butter. How many
diamong [38]

Answer:

You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions

Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2

while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6

Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter

Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter

To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.

Thus, we have

5/2 - 13/6

x - 3

3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x

15/2 = 13x/6

26x = 90

x = 90/26

x = 45/13

x = 3 6/13
