Switch a and f and see if that works
OBAN
92
|
| STANRAER
172-------------------------------------112
To read this table you have to draw a vertical from OBAN downward aa horizontal line from the 1st value of STANRAER. The intersection point show the number of miles.
So there are 172 miles & the consumption is 8 mi/gal,. He needs 172/8 gal.
Cost number of gallons needed x price/ gallon
COST = (172/8) x 0.83
COST = (21.5) x 0.83 = 17.845 ≈ $17.85 (1st answer)
Givens
Petri Dish A sees a double ever 10 minutes
Petri Dish B sees a double ever 6 minutes
Consequences
A doubles 60 / 10 = 6 times.
B doubles 60 / 6 = 10 times.
Solution
If you work best with numbers then suppose there are 100 bacteria in both dishes at the beginning
A = 100 * 2^6
B = 100 * 2^10
A will have 100 * 64 = 6400 bacteria growing inside A
B will have 100 * 1024 = 102400 bacteria growing inside B
B/A = 102400 / 6400 = 16
There are 16 times as many in B than in A. <<<< Answer
