Answer:

The population would be 781.

The population is growing with the rate of 12.50 persons/yr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the formula for calculating the population, increasing with a rate per period,

A=P(1+r)^{n}

Where, P is the initial population,

r is the rate per period,

n is the number of period,

t is the total years,

Here, P = 500, r = 25 % = 0.25, n = 2 ( the number of '10 year period' of in 20 years is 2 )

Hence, the population in 20 years would be,

A=500(1+0.25)^2=500(1.25)^2=781.25\approx 781

Now, the rate of increasing per 10 year is 25 %,

⇒ The rate of increasing per year is 2.5 %,

Thus, the growing people per year = 2.5 % of 500 = 0.025 × 500 = 12.50

Hence, the population is growing at 12.50 person per year.

What is 1 1/4 × 4 3/4 =
Luden [163]
First, we need to turn this into an improper fraction. Therefore we have: 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 4 3/4 = 19/4
Now we multiply across and eliminate as needed.
5/4 * 19/4 = 95/16
Finally, we reduce and convert to a mixed fraction.
16 goes into 95, 5 times with a remainder of 15. Therefore, we can conclude that our answer is: 5 15/16.
