Question

The smelliness of cheese (denoted by SSS) can be defined as a function of the amount of bacteria in the cheese (denoted by BBB) and the surface area of the cheese (denoted by AAA) using this formula: S = { B\cdot A}S=B⋅AS, equals, B, dot, A Surface area of the cheese is measured in \text{cm}^2cm 2 c, m, start superscript, 2, end superscript. Select an appropriate measurement unit for smelliness of cheese.

Answer 1

cfu*cm^2

Explanation:

Assuming that B, the amount of bacteria in the cheese, is measured in cfu (colony-forming unit) and given that A, the surface area of the cheese, is measured in cm^2; then S, the smelliness of cheese, is measured in cfu*cm^2. The measure unit of S is gotten replacing the units in the S calculation formula (which is S = B*A).

Answer 2

`Bacteria*cm^2`

Explanation:

THe formula can be written as:

`S=B\cdot A`

Where

S is smelliness of cheese

B is the amount of bacteria

A is the surface area of cheese

B is measured as the "bacteria amount" and A is measured in
`cm^2`, so that would be the unit of smelliness of cheese (S) multiplied. So the unit is:

bacteria*cm^2
