Answer: 23.89 thousands of pounds  is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

the area of one field = 16 acres

Area of second field is given by

1\frac{1}{4}\times 16\\\\=\frac{5}{4}\times 16\\\\=5\times 4\\\\=20\ acres

A barn of wheat on the first field makes up

3\frac{7}{12}\times 16\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times 16\\\\=57.33\text{ thousands of pounds.}

A barn of wheat on the second field makes up

1\frac{2}{15}\times 20\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times \frac{17}{15}\times 20\\\\=81.22\text{ thousands of pounds }

Now,

81.22-57.33=23.89

Hence, 23.89 thousands of pounds  is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

rewona [7]
Exponential change can be modeled by:
N = N(0) x λⁿ; where λ is the rate of change. It is greater than 1 when there is growth and less than 1 when there is decay. n is the number of time periods passed.
λ is 1 + 0.083 = 1.083
N(0) is the initial value of 750
n is 2050 - 2005 = 45 years
N = 750 x (1.083)⁴⁵
= 27,000 fish
