One really simple way to find an equivalent fraction is just to multiply the numerator and denominator.
For example, for the first answer, , I simply multiplied the numerator and denominator each by 2. This gives you an equivalent fraction.
You can then continue with this process using numbers such as 3, 4, 5, and 6 as your multiplication factor.
Answer:
Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount, in millions gallons of water, spent by Lee County, in t years after 2019, is given by the following equation:
In which P(0) is the amount spent on 2019 and r is the increse rate, as a decimal.
In the year 2019, Lee County used approximately 55 million gallons of water.
This means that
Historical trends show that each year the water demand is increasing by a rate of approximately 2.1%.
This means that
So
Approximately how many million gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025?
2025 is 2025 - 2019 = 6 years after 2019. So this is P(6).
Rounded to the nearest millions
Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
