A town’s population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years. On average, how many people will the town grow by in 5 years?
If the town's population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years, then the average increase in population per year is 600/2 = <<600/2=300>>300 people.
Therefore, in 5 years, the town will grow by an average of 300*5 = <<300*5=1500>>1500 people. Answer: \boxed{1500}.
Question
A scientist samples a deer population and finds 200 deer in an area of 10 square miles. On average, how many deer can the scientist expect to find in an area of 300 square miles?
Since there are 200 deer in a 10 square mile area, the density of deer in that area is 200/10 = 20 deer per square mile.
Therefore, in a 300 square mile area, the scientist can expect to find on average 20*300 = <<20*300=6000>>6000 deer. Answer: \boxed{6000}.
A baker bakes 3 batches of cookies and makes 42 cookies. How many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches?
If 3 batches of cookies make 42 cookies, then 1 batch of cookies makes 42/3 = <<42/3=14>>14 cookies.
Therefore, if the baker bakes 2 batches of cookies, they will make 14*2 = <<14*2=28>>28 cookies. Answer: \boxed{28}.
A driver drove 90 miles and used 4 gallons of gasoline. What is the vehicle’s consumption rate in miles per gallon?
To calculate the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon, we divide the number of miles driven by the number of gallons of gasoline used.
Consumption rate = Miles driven / Gallons of gasoline used
Consumption rate = 90 miles / 4 gallons
Consumption rate = 22.5 miles per gallon
Therefore, the vehicle's consumption rate is 22.5 miles per gallon.
TYSM I GOT 4 out of 5!! YOUR THE BEST
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you with your question. Congratulations on getting 4 out of 5 right! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Keep up the good work!
To find out the average population growth in 5 years, we need to divide the total growth by the number of years.
Given that the population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years, we can calculate the average growth per year by dividing the total growth (600 people) by the number of years (2 years).
Average annual growth = Total growth / Number of years = 600 / 2 = 300 people
Therefore, on average, the town will grow by 300 people in 1 year. To find out the growth in 5 years, we multiply the average annual growth by the number of years:
Average growth in 5 years = Average annual growth * Number of years = 300 * 5 = 1500 people
So, the town will grow by an average of 1500 people in 5 years.
