Answer:
6z
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Find difference i.e 100-82=18
if 82 is 100%, what about 18?
(18*100)/82= 21.951 ans
The answer is 1/2lbs, here's how.
3/4x2/3=6/12 reduced to 1/2lbs.
There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch. Since we are estimating, we can round the average growth per year to .5 cm which would give you roughly 5 years per inch of diameter (2.5 / .5 = 5). Since we have a tree with a 4 inch diameter, we can estimate the age of the tree is...
4 inches x 5 years/inch = 20 years old.
