Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Say x is the number of hours he can rent the detector at most. Using it, we can set up this equation:

15 + 2x = 35

Subtract 15 from both sides

2x = 20

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 10

An ant population starts at 1200 for a certain colony. As each month goes by in the winter, 6.5% of the population dies off. How
Nitella [24]

Answer:

There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.

6.5% / 100 = .065

Step 2

So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.

1200 * .065 = 78

This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.

Step 3

Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)

1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive

Step 4

For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)

1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive

Step 5

For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)

981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive

Hope this helps!
