Answer:

1/30=x/180

Step-by-step explanation:

The way that Ronnie wrote his proportion is wrong since 180/x is saying that he will miss 180 days of school. The fraction 1/30 means that he would miss 1 day out of 30 days, which is correct. But the fraction 180/x would mean that he is missing 180 days of school, which is wrong.

Solving:

1/30=x/180

180/30=6

1 x 6 = 6 days

He will miss 6 days of school in 180 days.

The population of Watesville decreases at a rate of 1.6% per year. If the population was 62,500 in 2014, what will it be in 2020
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

56,735 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to model this:

The equation for exponential decay is y = C(1 - r)^t, where C is the original amount, r is rate of change, and t is time.

We can plug in the corresponding values and solve:

y = 62500(1 - 0.016)^6

y = 62500(0.984)^6

y = (62500)(0.9077)

y = 56,734.94, which we can round to 56,735 people
