Firstly, the rate of increase of Canton = 80/7720 = 0.010
The rate of increase of HP = 120/3200 = 0.0375
Apply the formula of compound interest==> A =A'(1+i)^n
The population will be equal when the following equality is satisfied
7720(1+0.01)^n = 3200(1+0.0375)^n
or
7720x1.01^n = 3200x1.0375^n
Divide both sides by 3200 ===>(193/80)x1.01^n=1.0375^n
Answer:
Subtract 2x from each side, Subtraction Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Saw A = 150 planks/30 seconds = 5 planks per second
Saw B = 130 planks/ 13 seconds = 10 planks per seconds
5 + 10 = 15 planks per second total
225 planks / 15 planks per second = 15 seconds
Answer: 15 seconds
