Answer:
40 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:
She must take at least 40 socks.
3+6x+3x+ 6 = 180
9x + 9 = 180
9x = 171
x = 19
Answer:
Lenthg times width
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The equation i.e. used to denote the population after x years is:
P(x) = 490(1 + 0.200 to the power of x
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem could be modeled with the help of a exponential function.
The exponential function is given by:
P(x) = ab to the power of x
where a is the initial value.
and b=1+r where r is the rate of increase or decrease.
Here the initial population of the animals are given by: 490
i.e. a=490
Also, the rate of increase is: 20%
i.e. r=20%
i.e. r=0.20
Hence, the population function i.e. the population of the animals after x years is:
P(x) = 490(1 + 0.200 to the power of x
The answer to the question is 0.6
