Answer:
The third number is 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
264 = 2*2*2*3*11
9x = 3*3*x
2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer
1584x = 7920y
so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.
Now the GCD is 12 so x must have 4 as one of its factors.
Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y would be 4.
If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.
This checks out OK.

You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x
If an ostrich can run 50 miles in one hour then he can run 12.5 miles in 15 minutes. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour. Multiply 50 by 0.25 = 15.
Answer: $6.48
Step-by-step explanation:
1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16
1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44
1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48
