Answer:

Actual length of the Bridge = 8983.33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 1 unit = 19,600.

Height of the postcard is 3.5 inches.

So, original height of the bridge = 3.5 × 19,600 = 68,600 inches

= 5716.67 feet

Width of the postcard is 5.5 inches.

So, original width of the bridge = 5.5 × 19,600 = 107,800 inches

= 8983.33 feet

After the closing of the mill, the town of Sawyerville experienced a decline in its population.
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)

0.75 = 2^(-t/15)

ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))

ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)

-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t

t = 6.23

rosijanka [135]

The buyer will be paying taxes for 185 days, so will pay

... (185/365)·$8200 = $4156

Your most appropriate choice seems to be $4178, which corresponds to 186 days' taxes.

_____

There are 30 days in each month in the last half of the year, plus 1 additional day in each of July, August, October, and December. The 30th of June also belongs to the buyer (but the 29th, closing day, does not), so there are 180+5 = 185 days for which the buyer must pay taxes. The answer choices don't include that value.
