There are 60 minutes within an hour, which means there are four segments of 15 minutes each in that time frame. Starting with 120 bacteria, the first multiplication is 120 times 3, equaling 360 for the first 15-minute interval. Moving on, 360 multiplied by 3 gives 1080 for the second 15 minutes. Next, multiplying 1080 by 3 results in 3240 for the third 15-minute period. Lastly, 3240 times 3 equals 9720 for the fourth set of 15 minutes. Therefore, at the conclusion of one hour, the total number of bacteria in your Petri dish will amount to 9720.

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box
tester [12383]

Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

Emi computes the mean and variance for the population data set 87, 46, 90, 78, and 89. She finds the mean is 78. Her steps for f
AnnZ [12381]
Let’s determine the actual mean

First, we sum all the values

87+46+90+78+89 = 390

Then, we divide 390 by the count of numbers present.

390/5 = 78

Thus, the mean is 78
