Bacterial Growth – Page No. 360
Bacteria are tiny, one-celled organisms that live almost everywhere on Earth. Although some bacteria cause disease, other bacteria are helpful to humans, other animals, and plants. For example, bacteria are needed to make yogurt and many types of cheese.
Under ideal conditions, a certain type of bacterium cell grows larger and then splits into 2 “daughter” cells. After 20 minutes, the daughter cells split, resulting in 4 cells. This splitting can happen again and again as long as conditions remain ideal.
Complete the table.
Extend the pattern in the table above to answer 14 and 15.
Question 14.
What power of 2 shows the number of cells after 3 hours? How many cells are there after 3 hours?
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 29
Explanation:
So, each cell doubles every 20 mins. After 20 minutes, you have 1(2) = 2 cells. After 40 minutes, you have 2(2) = 4 cells, etc.
1 hour = 60 minutes
3 hours = 3 × 60 minutes = 180 minutes
180/20 = 9 divisions
Thus 29 cells are there after 3 hours.
Question 15.
How many minutes would it take to have a total of 4,096 cells?
_______ minutes
Answer: 240 minutes

First, convert the cells into the exponential form.
The exponential form of 4096 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2× 2 × 2× 2 × 2× 2 × 2 = 212
Multiply the power with 20
12 × 20 = 240
Thus it would take 240 minutes to have a total of 4,096 cells

The formula P = 4s gives the perimeter P of a square with side length s. How much greater is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 \(\frac{1}{2}\) inches than a square with a side length of 5 inches?
_______ inches
Answer: 2 inches
Explanation:
We have to use the formula P = 4s to find the perimeter of the square.
4 × 5 \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Convert the mixed fraction to the improper fraction.
4 × 11/2 = 2 × 11 = 22 inches
4 × 5 inches = 20 inches
To find which has the greater perimeter we have to subtract 20 inches from 22 inches
22 inches – 20 inches = 2 inches
Thus the perimeter of a square with 5 \(\frac{1}{2}\) inches is 2 inches greater than a square with a side length of 5 inches.

The formula P = a + b + c gives the perimeter P of a triangle with side lengths a, b, and c. How much greater is the perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 33 yards, 56 yards, and 65 yards than the perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 26 yards, 49 yards, and 38 yards?
________ yards
Answer: 41 yards
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the perimeter of the 1st triangle.
Given:
a = 33 yards
b = 56 yards
c = 65 yards
P1 = a + b + c
P1 = 33 + 56 + 65 = 154 yards
Now we have to calculate the perimeter of 2nd triangle.
Given:
a = 26 yards
b = 49 yards
c = 38 yards
P2 = a + b + c
P2 = 26 + 49 + 38 = 113 yards
Now we have to calculate which triangle has greater perimeter and how much greater.
P1 – P2 = 154 yards – 113 yards = 41 yards
Therefore, 41 yards greater is the perimeter of the 1st triangular field than the perimeter of the 2nd triangular field.

Louisa read that the highest elevation of Mount Everest is 8,848 meters. She wants to know how much higher Mount Everest is than Mount Rainier. Use this information for 1–2.
Question 1.
Write an expression to represent the difference in the heights of the two mountains. Tell what the variable in your expression represents.
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 8848 – h, where h represents the height of the Mount Rainier
Explanation:
Given that, the height of Mount Everest is 8848 meters
Let the height of Mount Rainier is h
The difference in height of Mount Everest and height of Mount Rainier is 8848 – h.
Question 2.
Louisa researches the highest elevation of Mount Rainier and finds that it is 4,392 meters. Use your expression to find the difference in the mountains’ heights.
________ meters
Answer: 4456 meters
Explanation:
The height of the Mount Rainier = 4392 meters
Replace the value of the height of the Mount Rainier in the above expression.

Question 6.
the quotient of p and 4
Type below:
_____________
Answer: p ÷ 4
Explanation:
The expression is p ÷ 4
p = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) ÷ 4
\(\frac{1}{2}\)/4 = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
p ÷ 4 when p = \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(\frac{1}{8}\)
p = 4
4 ÷ 4 = 1
p = 6.5
6.5 ÷ 4 = 1.625

4(3z + 2)
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 12z + 8
Explanation:
Use the distributive property.

= 8(3g – h)
Question 13.
Write an Expression The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 3t, 2t + 1, and t + 4. Write an expression for the perimeter (sum of the lengths). Then, write an equivalent expression with 2 terms.
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 6t + 5
Explanation:
Given that, The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 3t, 2t + 1, and t + 4.
We know that the perimeter of the triangle is P = a + b + c
P = 3t + 2t + 1 + t + 4
Combine the like terms.
P = 6t + 5
Question 14.
Use properties of operations to write an expression equivalent to the sum of the expressions 3(g + 5) and 2(3g − 6).
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 3(3g + 1)
Explanation:
Given two expressions 3(g + 5) and 2(3g − 6).
Use the distributive property to simplify the expressions.
3(g + 5) = 3 × g + 3 × 5 = 3g + 15
2(3g − 6) = 2 × 3g – 2 × 6 = 6g – 12
Add both expressions and combine the like terms
3g + 15 + 6g – 12 = 9g + 3 = 3(3g + 1)

Sense or Nonsense Peter and Jade are using what they know about properties to write an expression equivalent to 2 × (n + 6) + 3. Whose answer makes sense? Whose answer is nonsense? Explain your reasoning.
Peter’s Work:
Expression: 2 × (n + 6) + 3
Associative Property of Addition: 2 × n + (6 + 3)
Add within parentheses: 2 × n + 9
Multiply: 2n + 9

Question 10.
The expression 15n + 12n + 100 represents the total cost in dollars for skis, boots, and a lesson for n skiers. Simplify the expression 15n + 12n + 100. Then find the total cost for 8 skiers.
Type below:
_____________
Answer: 27n + 100, $316
Explanation:
The terms that have n can be operated:
15n +12n + 100 = 27n +100. Then, we have that
total cost = 27n +100 for n skiers. So, for 8 skiers we have
total cost = 27(8) +100 = 216 + 100 = 316.
Then, the total cost of 8 skiers is $316.
