Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.
All the common factors of 24, 64, 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8
Answer:
Slope? If so it is 13/-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Use y1-y2/x1-x2
3 pipes take 12 hours
⇒ In 1 hour, the 3 pipes can fill 1/12 of the pool
2 of the pipes take 18 hours
⇒ in 1 hour, the 2 pipes can fill 1/18 of the pool
In 1 hour, the third pipe alone can fill :

Time needed :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: It will take 36 hours for the third pipe to fill the pool.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Remember that the y-intercept of a exponential function

is

, so the only thing to do to find the y-intercept in our functions is evaluate it at t=0:




We can conclude that the y-intercept of our function is (0,50), and it represents the initial bacteria population in the sample.
b) To find if the function is growing or decaying, we are going to convert its decimal part to a fraction. Then, we will compare the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. If the numerator is grater than the denominator, the function is growing; if the opposite is true, the function is decaying.
Remember that to convert a decimal into a fraction we are going to add the denominator 1 to our decimal and then we'll multiply both of them by a power of ten for each number after the decimal point:

Now we can rewrite our exponential function:

Since the numerator is grater than the denominator, it is growing faster than the denominator; therefore the function is growing.
c) The only thing we need to do here is evaluate the function at t=5:




We can conclude that after 5 hours <span>Dr. Silas began her study will be 268.9 bacteria in the sample.</span>
