Unit of measurement, a punk/disco band, was signed up to play a benefit concert for new year's eve. they started at 6: 00 pm on new year's eve and managed to play until 9: 00 am the morning of january 2. to figure out how many minutes they were on stage, what is the conversion ratio you should use? a.60 minutes/1 hour b.60 minutes/1 second c.60 seconds/1 minute d.1 hour/60 minutes

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

=240

=48
