If Nate was growing 1.68 inches permonth, how much will he grow in 6 1/2 months? Plz help what do I have to do to get the answer?? What’s the answer

10.92 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion. Set up two ratios equal to each other.

Given ratio:

The ratio of months to inches of growth is

1 month : 1.68 inches or 1/1.68

Now set up a ratio involving the unknown amount.

6 1/2 is the same as 6.5

In 6.5 months, he grows x inches.

6.5 months : x inches, or 6.5/x

Set the ratios equal creating a proportion.

Cross multiply.

1 * x = 1.68 * 6.5

x = 10.92

10.92 inches

21

step-by-step explanation:

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
