Answer:

(B) 477=6(1+0.20)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use formula

P(t)=P_0(1+r)^t

where

Po is the initial population

r is the growth rate

t is the time in months

We are given

initial population of insects

so, Po=6

The scientists find that the insect population, x, is growing exponentially 20% per month

so, r=0.20

now, we can plug these values

P(t)=6(1+0.20)^t

there to be a population of 477 insects

so, P(t)=477

now, we plug it

and we get

477=6(1+0.20)^t

Difference between 1 8/10 and 2 2/5
Eva8 [605]
The first step to solving this is converting these mixed numbers into improper fractions. You would do that by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to that number; this number replaces the numerator. It would look something like this:

1 8/10   -->   18/10
2 2/5   -->   12/5

Now, to subtract the second fraction from the first one, the denominators of both fractions must be the same. We can make them the same by multiplying the second fraction by 2:

12/5 * 2/2 = 24/10

Now we can set up the equation as:

18/10 - 24/10 = -6/10   -->   -3/5

The answer is negative 3/5.

I hope this helps.
