Answer:

The bacteria took 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the first bottle and it took only 10 minutes to fill 3 more. This is because of the amount of bacteria, for the first bottle there were only a few so it took them time to grow and multiply but once there were a lot the process starts to get faster. Think of it like this if you have 1 bacteria it will multiply into 2 bacteria. The 2 will multiply into 4, then 8, 16, 32, 62, 124 and so on. Do you notice how the numbers are getting bigger every time? Each number is being multiplied by 2 so the growth rate speeds up very quickly, which is why it took the bacteria 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the first bottle and only 10 minutes to fill the other 3.

(I'm not sure but this is my theory)

Answer:

The bacteria took more time to double from 1 cell to a bottle full of cells. Once the bottle was full, each cell in the full bottle doubled, causing an additional bottle to be filled in 5 minutes. Then the 2 full bottles doubled in the next 5 minutes, causing all 3 bottles to be full

A teacher Buys tickets for each of my students to visit a museum each student and $6.50 and she spent a total of $182 how many s

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The ticket is bought for 28 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the teacher is going to buy museum ticket for each students.

Total money spent = $182

Price of each ticket = $6.50

Let total number of tickets bought = $x$

We know that to find the total amount of money spent on ticket, we can add price of each ticket (i.e. $6.50) $x$ number of times.

In other words, simply multiply the number of tickets with price of each ticket to find the total money spent.

Total money spent = $x \times 6.50$

We know that total money spent is $182.

$\Rightarrow x \times 6.50 = 182\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{182}{6.50}\\\Rightarrow x = 28$

The ticket is bought for 28 students

A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8

NARA [144]

Answer: $1.0625\ pounds$ or $\frac{17}{16}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for $\frac{1}{8}$ pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make $8\frac{1}{2}$ serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

$8+0.5=8.5$
