Use the equation y=mx+b where m is the slope (how much it increases each time) and b is the y intercept (starting point).

Your equation would be: y=12x+0 because they eat 12 pounds each day and they start out having eaten 0 pounds.

To solve the equation, plug in the total amount of food for y and use algebra to solve for x:
250=12x
(divide by 12)
(250/12)=x
X=20.833

Their food would last approximately 20 days. (Make sure you round if required)

A city block has 6 pigeons and then 1 week later there are 9 pigeons. Let P(t)be the number of pigeons where t is measured in we
Pavel [41]

Using proportions, it is found that the differential equation which describes the growth of the pigeon population is given by:

\frac{dP}{dt} = 1.5P

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, considering the initial population and the population one week later, the rate of growth is given by:

k = 9/6 = 1.5.

The standard differential equation for population growth is:

\frac{dP}{dt} = kP

Hence:

\frac{dP}{dt} = 1.5P
