Answer:

30 yards of string will remain unused

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are a lot of conversions going on here.

1 yard = 3 feet,

so 50 yards • 3ft per yard = 150 feet of string on the spool

1 foot = 12 inches,

so 150 feet • 12in per foot = 1800 inches of string on the spool

There are 24 students and they each get 30 inches, multiply 24 • 30 to see how much string is used:

24 • 30 = 720 inches of string used

Find how many <u>inches</u> of string is left by subtracting what is used from the original amount:

1800 - 720 = 1080 inches of spool left

To make this faster, instead of dividing by 12 inches per foot and then dividing by 3 feet per yard, I'm just dividing by 36 inches per yard.

1080 ÷ 36 = <u>30 yards of string remaining</u>

A population increases 3% each year. If the city is now 5 million, what will the population be in 5 years?
Step2247 [10]
5 million x 3% = 150,000
1 Year = 5,150,000

5.15 million x 3% = 154,500
2 Years = 5,304,500

5,304,500 x 3% = 159,135
3 Years = 5,463,635

5,463,635 x 3% = 163,909.05
4 Years = 5,627,544.05

5,627,544.05 x 3% = 168,826.322
5 Years = 5,796,370.37

After 5 years, the population will be 5,796,370.37
