A certain type of bacteria, given a favorable growth medium, doubles in population every
6.5 hours. Given that there were approximately 100 bacteria to start with, how many
bacteria will there be in a day and a half? You may assume that the bacteria grow in a
continuous manner.

y=−9/2x+10

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve for y.

0−9x−2y=−20

step 1: add 9x to both sides.

−9x−2y+9x=−20+9x

−2y=9x−20

step 2: divide both sides by -2.

−2y

−2

=

9x−20

−2

y=

−9

x+10

step-by-step explanation:

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
