Answer:

36 blue Candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of blue Candies

y ----> the number of yellow Candies

we know that

The ratio of blue candied and yellow candies is 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of blue candied and yellow candies is 3:5

so

<u> x </u> = <u> 3</u>

y 5 -----> equation A

the bag contains 60 yellow Candies

so

y=60 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

<u> r </u> <u> 3</u>

60 5

solve for x

x=<u>3</u> (60) = 36

Write an example of an equation that’s represents exponential decay
seropon [69]

The equation for exponential decay is given as y = a(1 - r)^x.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for original exponential decay is y = ab^x.

The growth rate (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.

The decay rate (r) is determined as b = 1 - r.

y = ab^x (Where b = 1 - r)

y = a(1-r)^x

a represents the initial value

r represents growth or decay rate

x represents the number of time intervals that have passed.

<em>For example</em>

The population of Home Town is 2016 was estimated to be 35,000 people with an annual rate of increase of 2.4%.

The equation for decay factor y = 35000(1 - 0.024)^x

y = 35000(0.976). (where x = 1)

Jacob went on a fishing trip. This year he caught 30 fish, which is six more than twice the number he caught last year. How many
NARA [144]

Answer:

12 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to work this problem backwards. If he caught 30 fish, which was six more than twice the number he caught last year, you would start by subtracting six, leaving you with 24. Then you'd have to divide by 2, because it was twice plus six as many fish, which would give you 12 fish.

\frac{30-6}{2} = x

\frac{24}{2} = x

12 = x

A magazine subscription costs $29.88 for 12 issues or $15.24 for 6 issues. Which subscription costs more per issue? How much mor
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The magazine that cost $15.24 for 6 issues cost more by $0.60/60 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $15.24 is 6 issues each and you need to even out the issues add $15.24+$15.24 then you would get $30.48, because its 15.24 each 6 add them both and it would be 12 issues. And the first issue $29.88 for 12 issues is  only $29.88 while the other is $30.48 so the one with 6 issues/the second cost more than the first.

60 cents more because 29.88+60=30.48.
