Answer:

In 24 hours you will have 16777216 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

So if we know that we start of with one cell and each hour each cell keeps on doubling then we can find out how much cell there will be in 24 by doing th following.

1 x 2 = 2 (the number of cells after 1 hour)

2 x 2 = 4 (the number of cells after 2 hours)(in order to obtain this we need to multiply the number of cells from the previous hour by 2, and we do this process repeatedly till we get the number of cell after 24 hours). So techencly the number of cells after 24 hours will be equal to

1 x 2^{24}

And so the number of cells after 24 hours will be....

1 x 2^{24} = 1 x 16777216 = 16777216

Dante and Mia have a total of 350 pennies in their piggy banks, altogether. After Dante lost half of his pennies and Mia lost on
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

150 pennies were lost altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies

Mathematically ;

x + y = 350 •••••••(i)

So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.

Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left

So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies

This means that;

x/2 = 2y/3

Cross multiply;

3x = 4y •••••••(ii)

Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;

From i , x = 350-y

Substitute this into equation ii

3(350-y) = 4y

1050-3y = 4y

7y = 1050

y = 1050/7

y = 150

since x = 350-y

x = 350-150 = 200

Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100

Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50

Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
