It's an irrational number so that means it's value is virtually indiscernible. That's why it seems to go on forever but its most basic form is 3.14.
QUESTION:
A battery was charged. When the charging began, it was 23 percent full. After 30 minutes of charging, the battery was 89 percent full. how fast did the battery charge and how long did it take?
Solution :
<u>Given</u>
- Initial amount of charge = 23%
- Amount after charge = 89%
<u>procedu</u><u>re</u>
Let the rate of charging be r .
r = (change in charge level) / (time interval) = (89% - 23%) / (30 min) = 2.2 % per minute
charge = (rate of charging)(time) + (initial charge)
100% = r*t + 23%
100% = (2.2 %/min)t + 23%
Solve for t and get
t = [(100 - 23) / 2.2]
Answer = 35 min
