3. In a nature conservatory, the ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100. There are 450 total flying insects. (a) Create a table for how many butterflies there are for 1, 50, and 100 flying insects. Show your work.
(b) How many butterflies are in the conservatory? Show your work.

i think the answwer is 172 butterflies

step-by-step explanation:

it's 15

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
