Threatened monarch butterflies are monitored by measuring the area occupied by overwintering butterflies in Mexico. According to
data collected by World Wildlife Fund Mexico, monarch butterflies occupied 0.67 hectares one recent winter, and 1.13 hectares the following winter (one year later)1. If the population is growing geometrically and grows at the same rate, how much area should the overwintering butterflies occupy one year after that
Well theoretically speaking you could but that would take a long time and 15 and 30 have a common factor of 5 and 15. So I think for this one you can't since there are two common factors. <span />
