At a cost of $8 per pound, how many ounces of rolled oats can be bought for $4.70?

9.4 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 ounces in a pound. We are given the going rate of $8/pound which we can convert into $8/16 ounces. This can be simplified by dividing both sides by 8, which gives us the rate of $1/2 ounces. We now apply this ratio to the amount of money we have, 4 dollars and 70 cents. The 4 dollars translates into 8 ounces via the ratio. For the 70 cents, we can again change the ratio to 10 cents / 0.2 ounces (divide both sides by 10 - $1 is equal to 100 cents). This would mean that we could buy 0.2*7 ounces with the 70 cents, which equals 1.4 ounces. We add the 8 ounces from the 4 dollars and the 1.4 from the 70 cents to get 9.4 ounces.

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.
