Answer:

Approximately 338

Explanation:

Since each generation of the insect is approximately 1.5 times that of the previous generation. Therefore,

Population of insect in the first generation = 100

Population of insect in the second generation = 1.5 × 100

                                                                    = 150

Population of insect in the third generation = 1.5 × 150

                                                                     = 225

Population of insect in the fourth generation = 1.5 × 225

                                                                     = 337.5

The population of insect in the fourth generation is approximately 338.

Define key words/vocab words to solve.

Sometimes you have to define words in the definition too :-P

chemosynthesis - the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.

maybe easier to understand below:

Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight. Chemosynthesis occurs around hydrothermal vents and methane seeps in the deep sea where sunlight is absent.

Mariana [72]

A. It acknowledges the correct amount of decimal points and could be a reasonable measurement.

B is incorrect because we don’t have measurements down to the hundredth place on the ruler.

C is incorrect because it doesn’t acknowledge the amount of decimal places available, only stating it as a whole number.

D is incorrect for the same reason as C.
