ANSWER
EXPLANATION
We want to find the number of years that it will take the population to double.
To do this, we have to apply the exponential growth function:
where y = final value
a = initial value
r = rate of growth
t = time (in years)
For the population to double, it means that the final value must be 2 times the initial value:
Substitute the given values into the function above:
To solve further, convert the function from an exponential function to a logarithmic function as follows:
Solve for t:
It will take 9 years for the population to double.
15% of 25 is the greatest of the two.
Answer:
25% of 15 is 3.75
15% of 25 is also 3.75
15 - 3.75 = 11.25
25 - 3.75 =21.25
Compare and then determine.
11.25 < 21.25
Answer: 2,000 ÷ 50
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that John needs to write 2,146 online math questions in 45 weeks and that he is estimating how many questions he should write each week to meet the deadline.
The compatible numbers that provide a better estimate for the number of question he should write each week, is 2,000 ÷ 50. This is because rounding up of 2146 to the nearest thousand gives 2000. The number beside the thousand place is 2 and sinces it's not up to 5, the number becomes 2000. Likewise 45 to the nearest ten gives 50 since the number beside the ten is 5, therefore 1 will be added to 4 which becomes 5 and the number in the unit place is changed to 0, this makes the number become 50.
Therefore, the answer is 2000 ÷ 50.
