Answer:

64 ivy stems

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use rule of three:

Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:

18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems

16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems

18/16 = 72/X

X = 16*72/18 = 64

He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.

The ordered pairs model an exponential function, where w is the function name and t is the input variable. {(1, 60), (2, 240), (

We are given the set of points
<span>{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)} 
If w is the function name and t is the input variable, then the equation has the form
w = k a^t
Plugging in any two of the points to solve for k and a
Choosing </span>(1, 60) and (2, 240)<span>
60 = k a
k = 60 / a

240 = k a^2

Substituting
240 = 60/a (a^2)
a = 4
and
k = 60 / 4 = 15

The function is 
w = 15 (4^t)</span>
