Answer:
698 fishes
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally, we can represent an exponential growth function as;
y = a•(1 + r)^t
originally, there were 3 fishes
The original value in this case means a = 3
After 6 weeks, there were 31
31 in this case is y
r is the increase percentage or rate
t is the time
So, we have it that;
31 = 3•(1 + r)^6
31/3 = (1 + r)^6
10.33 = (1 + r)^6
ln 10.33 = 6 ln (1 + r)
ln 10.33/6 = ln (1 + r)
e^0.3892 = (1 + r)
1 + r = 1.476
r = 1.476-1
r = 0.476 or 47.6%
So the growth percentage or rate is 47.6%
For 14 weeks, we simply have the value of t as 14;
So ;
y = 3•(1 + 0.476)^14
y = 3(1.476)^14
y = 698 fishes
The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
We have then:
V = h * L ^ 2
Where,
L: side of the square base.
h: height.
Substituting we have:
V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
Then, we can make the following rule of three:
1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 but don’t flip the symbol.
You only flip the inequality symbol if you divide by a negative number.
If you’re solving for x (which you are), you want to get x by itself. The only way to do that is to divide by 4.
Steps to solve:
1/2hb = d²
~Divide 1/2h to both sides
b = 2d²/h
Best of Luck!
