The question is so dry, mechanical, and devoid of emotion
that it's terrifying.
There is no way to assign a number to "How many people were
dying per day", and I would prefer not even to think about it in
those terms.
-- The period of time from August 4, 1914 until November 11, 1918 is 1,560 days.
-- The "average", or better, the "unit rate" of 10 million events in 1,560 days
is the quotient
(10,000,000 events) / (1,560 days)
= 6,410.3 events per day
= 267.1 events per hour
= 4.45 events per minute.
Reciprocally, this is a unit rate of
13.48 seconds per event,
sustained continuously for 4.274 years !
When will we ever learn ! ?
Answer:
Population after 4 years = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 47 (nearest unit)
Step-by-step explanation:
Yearly decrease = 4.6%
Decrease factor (what's left) = (100-4.6)% = 0.954
Current population, P = 60
population after n years = P(0.954)^n (to the nearest unit)
Population after 4 years = 60(0.954)^4 = 49.7 = 49 (nearest unit)
Population after 5 years = 60(0.954)^5 = 47.4 = 47 (nearest unit)
When you see the fraction 33/16, you realize that 33 divided by 16 is 2 remainder 1, so you add the 2 to the original 6, then put the remainder 1 on top of 16 ,which gives you 8 1/16
