20 + 20 + 30 + 15 + 40 = 125
125/5= 25
25-15 = 10
Absolute deviation for 15 is 10
The population of the fish is given by P(t) = 750(1 + 0.083)^t; where t is the number of years after 2005.
Here, t = 2050 - 2005 = 45
Population in 2050 = 750(1.083)^45 = 750(36.16) = 27,123
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
