Answer:
years 1–4: 62.4 bass per year
years 5–8: 67.6 bass per year
Step-by-step explanation:
If the population in year n is ...
p(n) = 3000·1.02^n
then the average rate of change from year 1 to year 4 is ...
(p(4) -p(1))/(4 -1) = 3000(1.02^4 -1.02^1)/3 = 1020·(1.02^3 -1) ≈ 62.4
The average rate of change for years 1–4 is 62.4 bass per year.
For years 5–8, the rate of change is similarly computed:
(p(8) -p(5))/(8 -5) = 3000(1.02^8 -1.02^5)/3 = 1000·1.02^5·(1.02^3 -1) ≈ 67.6
The average rate of change for years 5–8 is 67.6 bass per year.
Okay so first,
Confirm: Every time we have 7 large sugar skulls, that also makes 5 large sugar skulls. So if you have 132 <u>ALTOGETHER</u>, then you'd need to do some multiplication/division. First, divide 132 by 5, that equals 26 small sugar skulls. Lastly, 132 ÷ 7 = 18 large sugar skulls. So there are 26 small sugar skulls and 18 large sugar skulls.
(I hope that was right, I tried my best :)
First you find a common denominator, which is 12 ( as 4,3 and 6 all go into 12). So 2/4 becomes 6/12, as 4 multiplied by 3 is 12 and whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Then 2/3 becomes 8/12. And 2/6 becomes 4/12. If you put these in order the answer is:
2/6, 2/4, 2/3
19 1/4 miles per hour, you do 12 5/6 divided by 2/3
