Answer:
14.2 hectares
Step-by-step explanation:
Fund Mexico, monarch butterflies occupied 1.13 hectares one recent winter, and 4.01 hectares the following winter (one year later)
The formula of Geometric growth
(Pt/ Po)^1/t
Where Pt = Size after t years = 4.01 hectares
Po = Initial size = 1.13
t = times = 1
=( 4.01/1.13 )^1/1
= 3.5486725664
Hence, Geometric growth rate = 3.5486725664.
It's size in hectares after another 1 year = Current size in hectares × Geometric growth rate
= 4.01 ×3.5486725664
= 14.230176991 hectares
≈ 14.2
It's an 11% increase. To find this, you have to subtract 85 from 94.35 and then you divide that difference by the original amount. In this case it's 85. After that, you get .11. Then you just turn it into a percent.
