First, you have to find how many weeks are in 98 and to do so, you would divide it by 7. which turns out to be 14. If you divide 14 by 4 you'll find that their population will double 3 times, but not 3.5 because it is every 4 full weeks.
The equation will look like this, however, I'm not completely certain about the format. I'm using the formula for exponential growth
P(t)=r(2)^t
I did use t as weeks, but for every 4 weeks. R is the number of rabbits. If we were to input our information, we'd get:
P(3)=5(2)^3
If you work it out, you get 40 rabbits. In 14 weeks, the rabbits will double 3 times, so if we were to just figure it out without using the formula, we could double 5 which is 10, double it again, which is 20, and then double it a third time. which is 40.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.
Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.
In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that
x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1
Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that
10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2
If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that
x + 4 ≤ 19
x ≤ 19 - 4
x ≤ 15
Also,
10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170
10x + 32 ≥ 170
10x ≥ 170 - 32
10x ≥ 138
10x ≥ 138/10
x ≥ 13.8
The minimum number of hours is 14
