Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%

Answer:

51.9

8.9

78.5

8.8

Explanation:

You round up if the number to the right is 5 or greater.

So, apply this to the numbers and the 8 in A rounds up, going to a 51.9.

The 9 does not round up because of the one.

The 5 also does not round up because of the 2.

The 7 does round up because of the 6.
