Answer: x = 2,340 homes without children
There are 2,340 homes without children.
Step-by-step explanation:
'x' represent the number of homes without children
'y' represent the number of homes with children
x : y = 9 : 7
Since the total number of homes is 4160 means x + y = 4160.
From x + y = 4160 follows y = 4160 - x.
Plug y = 4160 - x into x : y = 9 : 7
x : (4160 - x) = 9 : 7
The equation is y=16(1.35)ˣ.
This equation is of the form y=a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial amount, r is the rate of growth expressed as a decimal number, y is the total, and x is the amount of time. For our problem, a is 16; b is 0.35 (35%=35/100=0.35). This gives us the equation above.
4^-3
You first need to make the exponent positive. To do this put it in a fraction.
1/4^3
Now solve the exponent.
4 * 4 * 4 =
^
16*4 = 64
1/64 is your answer
