Due to smoking, a terminally ill patient loses his lung capacity approximately 2% every 4 months. At this rate, beginning at 100% capacity, what will the patient's lung capacity be in one year?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

94% lung capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rate. Divide 2 by 4 which gets 0.5.

Take 0.5 times 12 (12 months in one year)

You should get 6.

Then, 100 minus 6 (because the patient loses capacity) therefore you should get 94.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

94.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert that 100% to "1."  Then:

Lung capacity as a decimal fraction) = C(x) = 1(1.00-0.02)^x, where x represents the number of 4-month periods.

After the first 4-month period, the lung cap should be 1(1.00-0.02)^1, or 0.98.

After the 2nd 4-month period, 1(0.98)^2, and

After the 3rd 4-month period, 1(0.98)^3, or 0.941

After 1 year (which is after three 4-month periods), the patient's lung cap has declined to 0.941 of its former maximum value (1), or 100%.  0.94 is equivalent to 94.1%.

One aluminum can weighs about 1/25 lb. if your school starts a recycling drive, how many cans will your school me to collect to recycle one ton?

Answers

1 ton=2000lb
total weight=2000
we want total weight=weight of cans
weight of cans=weight of 1 can times number of cans
W of cans=1/25c

total weight=weight of cans
2000=1/25c
times 25/1 both sides
50000=c


50,000 cans
50,000 cans
because if 1 can = 1/25 lb
the 25 cans = 1lb
and 1 ton =2,000lbs
so 25x2,000=50,000

Which number sentence below is not correct? 24.154 < 24.15 23.07 < 23.072 24.67 = 24.6700 28.045 > 28.044

Answers

Answer:

Option 1 - 24.154 < 24.15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which number sentence below is not correct?

Solution :

1) 24.154 < 24.15

It is false as 24.154 is 0.004 times greater than 24.15.

2) 23.07 < 23.072

It is true as 23.07 is less than 23.072.

3) 24.67 = 24.6700

It is true as zero after decimal doesn't make any change.

4) 28.045 > 28.044

It is true as 28.045 is greater than 28.044.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

24.154 <24.15 that is the incorrect  one

1/4(8−6x+12 ) what is the best expression

Answers

if you want us to simplify then

first simplify the parenthasees
8-6x+12
8+12-6x
20-6x

now we have
(1/4)(20-6x)
distribute using distributive porperty wyich says
a(b+c)=ab+ac

(1/4)(20-6x)=(20/4)+(-6x/4)=5-3/2x
