Answer:

6.25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's simplify it down. We want to find out how many shirts she can fold in 1 minute, then multiply that by 50.

20 shirts in 2.5 minutes

20 shirts = 2.5 minutes

An equals sign is like a see-saw. If you do something to one side, you have to do it to the other side. To get 20 shirts to 1 one shirt, divide by 20. You have to do that to the other side to make it equal.

(20 divided by 20) = (2.5 divided by 20)

1 shirt = 0.125 minutes.

That's how long it takes to fold 1 shirt. To find the time for 50 shirts, multiply that by 50.

0.125 x 50 = 6.25

It will take Carrie 6.25 minutes to fold 50 shirts. Hope this helped =)

On the basis of data collected during an experiment, a biologist found that the growth of a fruit fly population (Drosophila) wi

Ket [755]

Answer:

(a). 15

(b). 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth of the population of a fruit fly is modeled by

N(t) = $\frac{600}{1+39e^{-0.16t} }$

where t = number of days from the beginning of the experiment.

(a). For t = 0 [Initial population]

N(0) = $\frac{600}{1+39e^{-0.16\times 0} }$

= $\frac{600}{1+39}$

= $\frac{600}{40}$

= 15

Initial population of the fruit flies were 15.

(b).Population of the fruit fly colony on 11th day.

N(11) = $\frac{600}{1+39e^{-0.16\times 11} }$

= $\frac{600}{1+39e^{-1.76} }$

= $\frac{600}{1+39\times 0.172 }$

= $\frac{600}{1+6.71}$

= $\frac{600}{7.71}$

= 77.82

≈ 78

On 11th day number of fruit flies colony were 78.

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.

AfilCa [17]

First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3 where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0 = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes y = (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3
