8 is 1/6 of 8/6 = 1 1/3
125 is 5/10 of 625/10 = 62 1/2
32 is 4/10 of 128/10 = 12 4/5
600 elves
25% = 1/4
1/4 of the total = 150.
1/4 x 4 = 1 (total)
150 x 4 = 600
there are 600 elves
Answer:
The time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth function of the insects is exponential.
The exponential growth function is:

Here,
<em>y</em> = final value
<em>a</em> = initial value
<em>r</em> = growth rate
<em>t</em> = time taken
It is provided that there were 270 insects after 9 days and initially there were 80 insects.
Compute the value of <em>r</em> as follows:

Now, compute the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects as follows:

Thus, the time it will take the population to grow to 800 insects is 17 days.
