it would be 60 then u find the factors to get to 60 and then after u find the factors that would be ur answer then u put sixty is the Lcm
The answer is 138 million.
Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.
We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time
Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:

Logarithm both sides of the equation:

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17

Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014
D is the answer. Keep in mind that the absolute value of a number is always positive
They should hike 9.5 miles the first day. 30÷100= 0.38
0.38×25= 9.5
