Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 customers entered a store over the course of 16 minutes, then;

8 customers = 16 minutes.

The rate at which the customers are entering is expressed as;

Rate = Time (in minutes)/amount of customers;

Given

Time = 16 minutes

Amount of customers = 8 customers

Rate = 16min/8customers

Rate = 2min/customer

Hence the rate at which the customers entering the store in minutes per customer is 2min/customer.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
