Imagine a new pasture with grass growing on it. every day after the seeds have germinated, the number of blades of grass in the pasture triples. after 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass. how many days did it take for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass?

It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number of blades of grass is triple every day

- Consider that there are x blades in the first day

∵ The number of blades of grass is triple every day

∴ The next day the number of blades of grass will be 3x

∴ The formula to find the number of blades of grass after d days is

- After 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass

∵ d = 18

∴ The number of blades of grass =

- We need to know the the number of days that took for the pasture

  to be one-third covered in grass

∵ The number of blades of grass for 1/3 covered =

∴

- Remember  

∴

- Remember we add the power of the same bases when we

 multiply them

∴ ⇒ divide both sides by x

∴

- Remember if the two bases equal in the equation, then their

 powers are equal

∴ d = 17

* It took 17 days for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
