ElenaW [278]

Answer:

C. 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bacteria on day 1 = 5

On day 2, each bacteria got split into 5.

So, number of bacteria on day 2 = $5\times 5 = 25$

Now, again on day 3, each of the 25 bacteria got split into additional 5 bacteria.

So, number of of bacteria on day 3 = $25\times 5 =125$

Therefore, the population of bacteria on day 3 is 125.

Reduce to simplest form. - 3/5 + 1/3

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: -4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,

we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (LCD).

Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,

our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.

In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,

we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3

and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.

That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.

As your last step, make sure that the fraction

that you end up with doesn't reduce.

In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.
