Technically you would have to divide 18 in half which is 9 so 9 is your possible answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as
A = P(1 - r/n)^ nt
Where
A represents the value after t years.
n represents the period for which the decrease in value is calculated
t represents the number of years.
P represents the value population.
r represents rate of decrease.
From the information given,
P = 23000
r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
n = 1
Therefore, the exponential decay function described in this situation is
A = 23000(1 - 0.08/n)1)^ 1 × t
A = 23000(0.92)^t
If A = 15000, then
15000 = 23000(0.92)^t
0.92^t = 15000/23000 = 0.6522
Taking log of both sides to base 10
Log 0.92^t = log 0.6522
tlog 0.92 = log 0.6522
- 0.036t = - 0.1856
t = - 0.1856/- 0.036
t = 5 years to the nearest year
When it says that the cities are routed linearly, it means that these cities are located right next to each other. From the left, the order is Springfield, Clarksville, then Allentown. You have details on the number of gallons and the mileage. To get the distance travelled, just multiply the mileage with the gallons, to cancel out gallons leaving you with the distance in miles.
Now, since Molly travelled from Springfield to Allentown, the total distance she covered is the distance Edward travelled and the unknown distance between Springfield and Clarksville, denoted as x in the picture. So, the equation is then
Molly's distance = x + Edgar's distance
26 miles/gal(2 gal) = x + 17 miles/gal(1 gal)
x = 35 miles
It would be 48/64 this is done by finding how many times 4 fits in 64 (64/4) then multiplying 3 by that answer
If Ian uses 1/20 of the ketchup 4 times, this is equal to 4/20, or

.

can be simplified to

, which means we need to work out

of 12.2

is equivalent to 20%, which as a decimal is 0.2
0.2 x 12.2 = 2.44 - however, this is how much he has
used, and we need to figure out how much is left.
12.2 - 2.44 = 9.76
So, Ian has 9.76 oz remaining :)
