<h3>Answer: 395 birds</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
The formula to use is
A = P*(1+r)^x
where,
P = 12000 is the initial population
r = -0.15 represents the growth rate in decimal form; which is really a decay/decrease due to r being negative
x = 21 days have passed by (3 weeks = 3*7 = 21 days)
These values lead to...
A = P*(1+r)^x
A = 12000*(1+(-0.15))^21
A = 12000*(1-0.15)^21
A = 12000*(0.85)^21
A = 12000*0.03294560142183
A = 395.34721706196
A = 395
Remind your students that there is more than one way to begin solving a division problem. Tell your students to "just begin" and then to adjust as needed. Give your students these problems: 531 ÷ 16; 364 ÷ 22; 1,506 ÷ 24; 3,186 ÷ 45. Ask them to first estimate the quotientsand then to find the actual quotients.
Answer:
5 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
5 quarts= 20 cups
There is 4 cups in a quart.
Remember that you must change this number so that it is between 1 and 10, and then multiply it by a power of 10.
So first, you have to move the decimal point over 2 places to the right.
Since you are moving to the right, the exponent on ten will be negative; since you moved 2 decimal places, you know the exponent will be -2.
The answer is 6.3 x 10^-2.
Hope this helps!
