Answer: 45 dollars and it was a distance of 5 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation: What i did was start with 30, then keep adding 3 till i got the a multiple of 5.
30 + 3 = 33
33 + 3 = 36
36 + 3 = 39
39 + 3 = 42
42 + 3 = 45
So already i know that it is 5 kilometers, because i added 3 to 30 five times.
No i will do that with the second company
20 + 5 = 25
25 + 5 = 30
30 + 5 = 35
35 + 5 = 40
40 + 5 = 45
That is also 5 kilometers, because i added 5 to 20 five times. I also know they are the same price, because they both added to 45 dollars.
Thats how i solved it.
I really hope that helps!
Answer:
654 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
When you set up this equation you want the number of grams you start with, 2616, and the factor by which it is decreasing, which is half, or 1/2. Because the half life is 11 days, but you want to find the amount left over after 22 days, you can make 22/11 as the exponent on the 1/2. The equation should look like this : 2616(1/2)^22/11. With these kinds of equations you always want to multiply the starting value by the factor of increase/decrease, and raise that factor to the time eclipsed divided by the set time(like the 11 day half life).
