Answer:

  50 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Before drying, the cranberries have ...

  (100% -99%)(100 lb) = 1 lb

of "meat."

After drying, that represents (100% -98%) = 2% of the total weight. Then the total weight is ...

  1 lb = 2%·x

  x = (1 lb)/0.02 = 50 lb

The dried cranberries will weigh 50 lb.

Use the properties of exponents to simplify the expression: y^(y3)2
iren [92.7K]

because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.

By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).

Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.

summary:

multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.

add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)

Sort the following functions from asymptotically smallest to asymptotically largest, indicating ties if there are any. You do no
Serhud [2]

Answer:

b. n

d. 2^lgn

c. n^2.1

a. 4^2lgn

Step-by-step explanation:

Logarithm is a function of mathematics which is used to calculate inverse function of exponents. The asymptotically smallest function will be the one that has smallest or no exponents. The exponent function is calculated in reverse when log is applied. The function with highest exponents will be largest asymptotically.

During the spring and summer months, the Happy Home Motel sees a rise in travelers. The manager of the motel turned in this repo
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

342

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see the difference is each successive values:

232 - 217 = 15

252 - 232 = 20

277 - 252 = 25

307 - 277 = 30

As we can see, each month the increase is 5 more than previous months' increase. <em>Clearly from the pattern we can surmise that the next month (August), it will increase by 35 from the value of July.</em>

Number of visitors in August = Number of Visitors in  July + 35 = 307 + 35 = 342

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following rectangular prism?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times 2 is 6, 2 times 5 is 10, 5 times 3 is 15. However you need 2 for each since there are 3 sets of two equal faces. So it will be 6+6+10+10+15+15
