1 week = 7 days
42 inches per week

We want to find out how many inches grow per day.

42 / 7 = 6

So, everyday the corn grows 6 inches.

To find the unit rate, we need to set the number of days to 1. Therefore, we will divide by 7. We also have to divide 42 by 7 to make sure the equation stays proportional. Using this knowledge, we can see that if the corn grew 42 inches in 7 days, it grows 6 inches per day.

29,500/12=2458.33
Now divide that by half of the amount of weeks in month
2458.33/1.5=1638.88

A population of endangered birds decreases by 3% each year.

Lana71 [14]

Since the number of bird decreases 3% per year then for year 1 there will be 29 100 birds left. This value is 97% of 30000. From this the number of birds for year 1 is N = 30000(1-0.03)

A. N = 30,000 $(1-0.03)^{2}$

B. To solve this we use the equation we established in letter A. We get the answer by substituting T with 20. N = 16,000. <span />
