Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the speed as "s".

Remember that distance = speed * time

So, plugging the numbers given...

7 = s * 8.4

Divide both sides by 8.4

s = 5/6

Now, plug this into the distance = speed * time, with the distance being 10. Set the time as "t"

10 = 5/6 * t

Divide both sides by 5/6

12 = t

So, it would take 12 hours for the snail to crawl 10 miles.

Population Growth Using 20th-century U.S. census data,

asambeis [7]

The population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

The population growth of Ohio is represented by the function:

$P(t)=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}$

P is the population in millions

t is the number of years since 1900

To find the year that the population of Ohio will be 10 million, substitute P = 10 into the function P(t) and solve for t

$10=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}\\\\10(1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t)=12.79\\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=\frac{12.79}{10} \\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279-1\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t = 0.279\\\\e^{-}0.0309t =\frac{0.279}{2.402} \\\\e^{-}0.0309t =0.116\\\\-0.0309t=ln0.116\\\\-0.0309t=-2.154\\\\t=\frac{-2.154}{-0.0309} \\\\t=69.7$

t = 70 years (to the nearest whole number)

70 years after 1900 will be 1970

Therefore, the population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

What is the minimum number of degrees that an equilateral triangle can be rotated before it carries onto itself?

mash [69]

Since the triangle has equal sides it will carry onto it self at 120, since it can rotate 360 grades only and it has 3 sides so it will rotate in one third of 360 so 120
