2 and 7/8=16/8+7/8=23/8
2 and 1/4=8/4+1/4=9/4
(23/8)/(9/4)
make bottom 1
times the whole thing by (4/9)/(4/9)
(92/72)/(36/36)=
92/72=
23/18
a) 32.25* 40 = 1290
b) 32.25 (1.5) *12 =580.50
c) 1290+580.50=1870.50
As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.
Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:

million people
To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)
substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:

million people
To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30
t = 25
million people
t = 30
million people
We have this equation:

So, we need to solve this equation for L. Then we sum -2W in each member of the equation, like this:


Then, dividing the equation by 2:

Finally, let's order this equation:
