Answer: To determine Rocco´s weight jake must use this expression

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Rocco´s initial weight: 55 pounds
  • Pounds lost per week: 0.5 pounds  

So, we have to write an equation where p is Rocco's weight after w weeks.

Each week Rocco will lose 0.5 pounds so the expression is 0.5w, where w is the number of weeks.

Mathematically speaking:

  • p = 55 - 0.5 w

By replacing w by the number of weeks, Jake will obtain Rocco´s weight.

For example, if the number of weeks is 20:

p= 55-0.5x 10

p= 55 - 20

p= 35

After 20 weeks Rocco will lose 10 pounds.

Caleb and two friends are sharing a half quart of milk equally what fraction of a quart of milk does each other friend get
AveGali [126]
To find out what fraction of the half quart each friend will get, divide the 1/2 quart into 2 groups.

1/2 divided by 2 is the same as 1/2 x 1/2 or 1/4 quart.

Each friend will get 1/4 quart of milk.

Alright, so you have the basic formula- good.
You have the A value (400), the interest rate r (7.5% -> .075 in decimal), and the final P value (8500). So, we only need to solve for t.

8500 = (400)(1+.075)^t
/400      /400
21.25 = 1.075^t
logarithms are the inverse of exponents, basically, if you have an example like
y = b^x, then a logarithm inverts it, logy(baseb)=x
Makes sense if you consider a power of ten.
1000 = 10^3
if you put logbase10(1000), you'll get 3.
Anyways, though, to solve the problem make a log with a base of 1.075 in your calculator
log21.25(base 1.075) = t
also, because of rules of change of base (might want to look this up to clarify), you can write this as log(21.25)/log(1.075) = t
Thus, t is 42.26118551.
Rounded to hundredths, t=42.26
