Answer :
Given the data from the American Community Survey, let's focus on extracting information for the following exercises:
### Exercise 9: Determine the total number of new computers added and the total computers by Thursday if the initial number of computers was 9, and 5 computers were added every day starting from Monday to Thursday.
To solve this, we need to determine the number of computers added each day and then compute the total number by Thursday.
1. Initial Number of Computers:
- Initially, there are 9 computers.
2. Computers Added Per Day:
- The rate of adding computers is 5 computers per day.
3. Duration:
- We need to calculate the increase over 4 days (from Monday to Thursday inclusive).
4. Computers Added Over 4 Days:
- Total number of computers added over 4 days can be calculated by multiplying the number of computers added daily by the number of days.
- Computations:
[tex]\(5 \text{ computers/day} \times 4 \text{ days} = 20 \text{ computers added}\)[/tex]
5. Total Number of Computers by Thursday:
- To find the total number of computers by Thursday, we add the initial number of computers to the total number of computers added:
- Computations:
[tex]\(9 \text{ initial computers} + 20 \text{ computers added} = 29 \text{ total computers}\)[/tex]
### Answer:
Thus, the total number of new computers added by Thursday is 20, and the total number of computers by Thursday is 29.
### Exercise 9: Determine the total number of new computers added and the total computers by Thursday if the initial number of computers was 9, and 5 computers were added every day starting from Monday to Thursday.
To solve this, we need to determine the number of computers added each day and then compute the total number by Thursday.
1. Initial Number of Computers:
- Initially, there are 9 computers.
2. Computers Added Per Day:
- The rate of adding computers is 5 computers per day.
3. Duration:
- We need to calculate the increase over 4 days (from Monday to Thursday inclusive).
4. Computers Added Over 4 Days:
- Total number of computers added over 4 days can be calculated by multiplying the number of computers added daily by the number of days.
- Computations:
[tex]\(5 \text{ computers/day} \times 4 \text{ days} = 20 \text{ computers added}\)[/tex]
5. Total Number of Computers by Thursday:
- To find the total number of computers by Thursday, we add the initial number of computers to the total number of computers added:
- Computations:
[tex]\(9 \text{ initial computers} + 20 \text{ computers added} = 29 \text{ total computers}\)[/tex]
### Answer:
Thus, the total number of new computers added by Thursday is 20, and the total number of computers by Thursday is 29.
