Answer:

16/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

8/3 - 8/5

Put 8/3 - 8/5 over the common denominator 15. 8/3 - 8/5 = (5×8)/15 + (3 (-8))/15:

(5×8)/15 + (3 (-8))/15

5×8 = 40:

40/15 + (3 (-8))/15

3 (-8) = -24:

40/15 + (-24)/15

40/15 - 24/15 = (40 - 24)/15:

(40 - 24)/15

Anika [276]

After a year the population will be 98.6% (100% - 1.4%) 98.6% as a decimal is 0.986 ... so after 1 year it will be: <span>

3800 x 0.986

after 2 years it will be:

3800 x 0.986 x 0.986...

after 3 years: 3800 x (0.986)^3

<span>in 2018. And after 4 years it will be 3800 x (0.986)^4 = which is 3591.62724 or 3592</span></span>
