There will be 13,122 micro-organisms present at noon the next day

The number of hours between noon today and noon tomorrow is 24 hours.

The micro-organisms triple every 3 hours. The first thing you need to do therefore, is to find the <u>number of 3 hour intervals in 24 hours. </u>

= 24 hours / 3

= 8 three hour intervals

The micro-organisms started with 2 and will triple every 3 hour intervals.

There are 8 three hour intervals so the number of micro-organisms at noon the next day is:

<em>= Beginning number of micro-organisms x 3 ^ number of three hour intervals </em>

= 2 x 3⁸

= 13,122 microorganisms

In conclusion, there will be 13,122 micro-organisms.

podryga [215]
40%

The probability of her getting a red marble is the number of red marbles divided by the number of total marbles. Since she picked a green marble first, we must subtract one marble from the total number of marbles, so that the total # of marbles is 6 + 6 + 4 = 16 - 1 (green marble) = 15. Since there are 6 red marbles, our probability is 6/15 or 2/5. Converted to percentage form, this is 0.4 —> 40%

A producer is said to have an absolute advantage over another producer when he required less amount of input to produce the same good compared to the other producer.

While a producer is said to have a comparative advantage over another producer when he produces his goods at a lesser opportunity cost compared to the other produer.

Here, time is one of the inputs used in production and Maria produces a scarf at a lesser time compared to Sofia. Thus, Maria has an absolute advantage over Maria in the production of scarves.

Therefore, the true statement is "<span>Maria has an absolute advantage over Sofia".</span>
