Answer:

5 mph

Step-by-sep explanation:

To find of out the difference between the speed of the two drivers in miles per hour (not in miles per minute), first, calculate the unit rate or speed of driver 1 using the graph, and driver 2 using the table given.

Unit rate/speed = distance travelled/time = y/x.

Speed of Driver 1/unit rate:

The graph shows 1.5 miles (y) is travelled in 2 minutes (x).

Convert the 2 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{2}{60} = \frac{1}{30} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1.5}{\frac{1}{30}} = 1.5*\frac{30}{1} = 45

Speed of Driver 1 in mph = 45 mph

Speed of Driver 2/unit rate:

The table shows 2.5 miles (y) is travelled in 3 minutes (x).

Convert the 3 minutes to hour, you will have:

\frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} hr

Speed in mph = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{20}} = 2.5*\frac{20}{1} = 50

Speed of Driver 2 in mph = 50 mph

Difference between the speed of the two drivers = 50 - 45 = 5 mph

Dr. Jimenez found that after applying an antibiotic to bacteria, he observed only 90% of the bacteria left in the culture dish e
USPshnik [31]
<span>If the intial count was 100,000 bacteria, after one hour 90% decrease => 10 % stands => 100,000*0.1 bacetria. After two hours 90% decrease => 10% stands => 100,000*0.1^2. After three hours, they stand 100,000 * 0.1^3. After four hours, 100,000*0.1^4 and after five hours 100,000*0.1^5 = 1 bacteria. Answer: 1 bacteria. If the inital count is different you just have to muliply the inicial count time (0.1^n) to get the number of bacteria after n hours, and if the number of hours is 5, then the factor is (0.1^5). </span>
