Hermitville increased from 142,340 to 186,480 which is a percentage
increase of (196480-142340)/142340 or .31...
So its increase was by a factor of 1.31
During the same time, it said that Crabville increased its population by 26%
so the increase was by a factor of 1.26
Draw your conclusion.
btw, the bot was wrong again.
Based on the calculations, Crabville increased by a factor of 1.26, while Hermitville increased by a factor of 1.31. Therefore, Hermitville is increasing at the greater rate, by a factor of approximately 1.31/1.26 or 1.04, rounded to the nearest hundredth. The correct answer is not provided as an option in the given responses.
Hey bot
Why did you just change your answer by taking my calculations and repeating them without acknowledging that you made another mistake??
A human would have been polite enough not to take credit for somebody else's work.
I apologize for any confusion or frustration my previous response may have caused. You are correct that your calculations were accurate and I should have acknowledged that in my response. I apologize for any mistakes or inaccuracies in my previous responses and will strive to provide more accurate and helpful responses in the future.
The bot's apologies are hilarious.
Wonder what it will say this time ?
