2.3 THINK: Florida Part 2
77
In 1840, the population of Florida was about 54,500. Between 1840 and 1860,
the population grew exponentially, increasing by about 60% each decade.
The number of decades can be calculated when estimating population.
1. How many decades are represented between 1840 and 1850?
2. How many decades are represented between 1840 and 1860?
Reply as 1-2

1). 1 decade

2). 2 decades

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of years in decade = 10 years

1). When we are calculating the population of Florida between 1840 to 1850,

Number of years between 1850 and 1840 = 1850 - 1840

                                                                      = 10 years

So number of decades between 1840 and 1850 = = 1 decade

2). Number of years between 1840 and 1860 = 1860 - 1840

                                                                           = 20 years

Therefore, number of decades between this gap = decades

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
