12:15 - 1+1 = 2
12:30 - 2 + 2 = 4
12:45 - 4 + 4 = 8
1 - 8 +8 = 16
1:15.......
.......
3 - 4096

Okay so there is 1 cell and it starts doubling at 12:00 every 15 minutes that is 4 times every hour and there is three hours so 4 x 3 = 12 so it doubles 12 times then 12 x 2 = 24 so at 3pm that cell would have multiplied it self into 24 other cells

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi

Question:

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi27π27, pi cm^3 3 start superscript, 3, end superscript of melted purple liquid. The radius of the cone is 333 cm. What is the height of the cone?

Answer:

The height of the cone is $9 \ cm$

Explanation:

It is given that the radius of the cone is $3 \ cm$

The volume of the cone is $27\pi$

The height of the cone can be determine using the formula,

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Substituting the values $V=27 \pi$ and $r=3$ , we get,

$27 \pi=\frac{1}{3} \pi(3)^{2} h$

Multiplying both sides by 3, we have,

$81 \pi= 9\pi h$

Dividing both sides by $9 \pi$ , we have,

$9=h$

Thus, the height of the cone is $9 \ cm$

Boris chooses three DIFFERENT numbers.

g100num [7]

Answer:

4, 5, 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find our numbers using given information.

Factors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10 and 20.

Let us try by taking number 4 and 5.

$36-(4+5)=36-9=27$

We can see that $3^{3} =27$

Now let us find sum of these numbers.

$4+5+27=36$

Therefore, numbers chosen by Boris will be 4, 5 and 27 as these numbers satisfies our all conditions.

An unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30{,}00030,00030, comma, 000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck

kari74 [83]

Answer:

1131 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

Billy Jo's school is selling tickets to a Fall Festival. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 adult ticket and 8 s

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 adult ticket and 8 student tickets for a total of $72. The school took in $152 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 16 student tickets. How much is a student ticket?

Day 1: 3x + 7y = 72

Day 2: 7x + 16y = 152

This becomes a system of equations.

3x+8y=72

3x+8y+−8y=72+−8y (Add -8y to both sides)

3x=−8y+72

3x/3 = −(8y+72)/3

X = (-8/3) y + 24

Substitute (-8/3) y + 24 for x in7x+16y=152:

7(-8/3 y + 24) + 16y = 152

-8/3 y + 168 = 152 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

-8/3 y + 168 − 168 = 152 + (−168) (Add -168 to both sides)

-8/3 y = -16

(-8/3 y)/(-8/3 y) = -16/ -8/3 y (Divide both sides by (-8)/3)

y = 6

If you wanted to keep going...

Substitute 6f or y in x = (-8/3) y + 24

(-8/3) y + 24 = (-8/3) (6) + 24

SImplify: x = 8

X = 8 and Y = 6

Hope this helps! ♥
