d=rt where d is the distance, r is the rate (the speed), and tt is the time. Dividing both sides by r then gives t=dr If the impulse must travel a distance of d=4.6 m at a rate of r=75 m/s, then the time it will take is t=4.675≈0.061 seconds

A bird species in danger of extinction has a population that is decreasing exponentially
A=A0ekt.
Five years ago the population was at 1400 and today only 1000 of the birds are alive. Once the population drops below 100, the situation will be irreversible. When will this happen?

Suppose four horses - A,B,C, and D - are entered in a race and the odds on them, respectively, are 5 to 1, 4 to 1, 3 to 1, and 2 to 1. If you bet $1 on A, then you receive $6 if A wins, or you realize a net gain of $5. You lose your dollar if A loses. How should you bet your money to guarantee that you can always make money no matter which horse wins?

From a = 1 + b + c 2 b c − 1 I also can prove that

Exponential continuous growth ln ⁡ a vs. r? Huh?
So, given a simple population continuous growth problem, it seems that the entirety of the internet uses P = P 0 e r t where P is the population over time, P 0 is the initial population, r is the percentage of change, and t is time.
But this class is asserting that P = P 0 e ( ln ⁡ a ) ( t ) where a = 1 + r, and everything else stays the same.
So lets say a population starts at 10 , 000 with 10 continuous growth rate. What is the population in 10 years?
The internet says that P = 10 , 000 e ( .10 ) ( 10 ) = 27 , 182
But the class says that P = 10 , 000 e ( ln ⁡ 1.10 ) 10 = 25 , 937 ( a = 1 + r which is 1.10)
but that equals the usual constant growth of P = P 0 a t = 25937

Finding lowest number to multiply a fraction and get a whole
I am trying to find the multiplier for a fraction that will let me get a whole number.
So trying to solve c = a × b
Where a is a number like 1.6 or 0.7 or 5.24
Where b is the lowest number that a can be multiplied by to make c a whole number.
The use case is in a game I am programming the currency is only in whole numbers of a single denomination (single gold coins) if the player wants to sell a quantity of items that are worth a fractional value like 1.6, how many must they sell so they can receive a whole number without throwing out the fractions.
