18 days (0.6 months)
a) How long both snakes will have the same length?
b)
5.23 +1.27m = 4.76 +2.04m
5.23 -4.76 = 2.04m -1.27m
0.47 -0.77m=0
1) Gathering the data, and describing that growth as functions:
Anaconda
G(m) = 5.23 + 1.27m Growth per month
Python
H(m) = 4.76 + 2.04m
To find how many months does that zookeeper needs to wait for those to be the same length, we must equate both functions:
5.23 +1.27m = 4.76 +2.04m
5.23 -4.76 = 2.04m -1.27m
0.47 =0.77m
0.47/0.77 = 0.77m/0.77
0.61 =m
m approximately 18 days.
So 0.61 month or we can find that in days, approximately:
1 month ------30 days
0.61 --------- x
x =18.3 days approximately 18 days.
a) We can write the following statement:
How long both snakes will have the same length?
b) To find that general form we can write the following:
5.23 +1.27m = 4.76 +2.04m
5.23 -4.76 = 2.04m -1.27m
0.47 -0.77m=0
