Answer:

6000

Step-by-step explanation:

If the fish population in a local lake increases at a rate proportional to the population each moment, this can be expressed as;

P = k/t (the scenario is an inverse proportionality because as the time is reducing, the population is increasing by the same factor)

If there are 1000 fish 5 years ago and there are 2000 fish 4 years ago

Yearly percentage increase will be;

2000-1000/1000 × 100%

1000/1000×100%

= 100%

This means that the population increases by 100% on a yearly basis (by a factor of 1000)

The population 3 years ago will be population

P = 2000+1000

P = 3000

The population 2 years ago will be population

P = 3000+1000

P = 4000

The population 1 year ago will be population

P = 4000+1000

P = 5000

The population now will be population

P = 5000+1000

P = 6000 populations

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Silver car

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems pretty hard but it's actually REALLY easy. gas mileage means the number of miles you can go on a particular amount of gallons. But the gallons have to be the same for both cars so that it's fair.

so let's go with 10 gallons. pretty broad number right?

so to get 12 gallons(the gallons for the blue car) to 10, We divide it by 12 then multiply it by 10. Try it yourself, (12/12)*10=???

then we do that to 384 (the miles for the blue car)

(384/12)*10=320

so 320 is the mileage for the first car. Repeat the steps for the silver car!

(14/14)*10=10

so then: (504/14)*10= 360.

So which is bigger, 320 or 360?

360 is bigger, meaning it has better gas mileage.

I am a decimal
dybincka [34]
0.6<2x<0.65 (because it's closer to 6)
0.3<x<0.325

Since the thousandths digit of 2x is 2, then the thousandths digit of x is 1 or 6, so the decimal could be 0.301, 0.302, 0.311, 0.312, 0.321

Hope this helps :)
