Answer:

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the number of adults and C represents the number of children.

Therefore, the ratio of children to adults is given as follows:

23:1 = C:A ....................... (1)

Since C = 140, this is substituted into equation (1) as follows:

23:1 = = 140:A ....................... (2)

Transforming equation (2) and solve for A, we have:

23 / (23 + 1) = 140 / (140 + A)

23 / 24 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 = 140 / (140 + A)

0.958333333333333 (140 + A) = 140

(0.958333333333333 * 140) + 0.958333333333333A = 140

134.166666666667 + 0.958333333333333A = 140

0.958333333333333A = 140 -134.166666666667

0.958333333333333A = 5.833333333333

A = 5.833333333333 / 0.958333333333333

A = 6.08695652173878

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 6

Therefore, the number of adults at the football game was 6.

Convert 25 1/3% to decimal. Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.

Decimal: 25.3333, but converted properly it is

What can you say about the end behavior of the function f(x)=-4^6+6x^2-52 ????
frosja888 [35]
Letter C is correct.
When the function is even, (all powers are even) both ends will go in the same direction.
In this case since the leading coefficient is negative, both ends will go down.

Students in a zoology class took a final exam. They took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. After t​
juin [17]

Answer:

a. 73; b. 48.9; c. 2; d. 33.8; e. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the function was

S(t)= 73 - 15 ln(t + 1), t  ≥ 0

a. Average score at t = 0

S(0) = 73 - 15 ln(0 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(1) = 73 - 15(0) =73 - 0 = 73

b. Average score at t = 4

S(4) = 73 - 15 ln(4 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(5) = 73 - 15(1.61) =73 - 24.14 = 48.9

c. Average score at t =24

S(24) = 73 - 15 ln(24 + 1) = 73 - 15 ln(25) = 73 - 15(3.22) =73 - 48.28 = 24.7

d. Percent of answers retained

At t = 0. the students retained 73 % of the answers.

At t = 24, they retained 24.7 % of the answers.

\text{Percent retention} = \dfrac{\text{24.7}}{\text{73}} \times 100 \, \% = \text{33.8 \%}\\\\\text{The students retained $\large \boxed{\mathbf{33.8 \, \%}}$ of their original knowledge after two years.}

e. Maximum of the function

The maximum of the function is at t= 0.

Max = 73 %

The graph below shows your knowledge decay curve. Knowledge decays rapidly at first but slows as time goes on.
