Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies
There are 3 repeating digits in 0.536 because there are 3 numbers behind the decimal
divide by I and r so t=p/(ir)

anyway, the graph was not included. since the sleep time was included, I will assume that the circle graph is worth 24 hours
all we need to do is to convert the percentages to fractions and multiply that by 24 to find out how many hours per activity
percent means parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
so we have
School
Eating
Sleep
Homework
Free Time
School=25%
25%=25/100=1/4
1/4 times 24=6
School: 6 hours
Eating=10%
10%=10/100=1/10
1/10 times 24=2.4
Eating: 2.4 hours
Sleep=40%
40%=40/100=4/10=2/5
2/5 times 24=48/5=9.6
Sleep: 9.6 hours
Homework=10%
10%=10/100=1/10
1/10 times 24=2.4
Homework: 2.4 hours
Free Time=15%
15%=15/100=3/30
3/20 times 24=72/20=36/10=3.6
