As far as I'm aware, you can't use the distributive property for a simple multiplication problem. However, the answer to 9 x 76 is 684. Hope this helped!

4 1/4, 4 5/12, 4 2/3. Not sure if there is suppose to be a 4 in front of the 5/12 but if there is this is how it should be ordered
The answer is 138 million.
Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.
We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time
Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:

Logarithm both sides of the equation:

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17

Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014
Answer:7/4 - 7/8 = 14/8 - 7/8 = 7/8 for lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:1/4 + 5/8 = 2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8
= amount used for pepper and tomatoes
2 1/2 - 3/4 = 5/2-3/4 = 10/4 -3/4 = 7/4
= total amount used
so
7/4 - 7/8 = 14/8 - 7/8 = 7/8 for lettuce
