Answer:
Every 1.71 seconds, the bacteria loses 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required [Missing from the question]
Every __ seconds, the bacteria loses 
First, we model the function from t/3 to t.

Apply law of indices

Evaluate each exponent
--- This gives the number of bacteria at time t
At time 0, we have:



Let r be the time 1/2 disappears.
When 1/2 disappears, we have:



So, we have:

Substitute r for t

Substitute 

Divide both sides by 8500


Take log of both sides

Apply law of logarithm

Make r the subject



<em>Hence, it reduces by 1/2 after every 1.71 seconds</em>

You follow the rule PEMDAS parenthesis, exponent, multipy, divide, add, substart. So you would start off by doing 27-12x2, you would do 12x2=24 first then 27-24=3. So then it would be 4+3/2, do 3/2=1.5, then add it 4+1.5=5.5. So the correct answer is 5.5
Answer:
.40 cents per hour. it dropped $2 over 5 hours. 4×5=20 so .40×5= 2.00
1m=100cm,
so 25 m=25*100=2500cm
