The current student population of Hartford is 1400. If the population decreases at a rate of 6.1% each year. What will the student population be in 6 years?

the student population will be 960 in 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the population is decreasing is exponential. We would apply the exponential decay formula which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of decrease.

From the information given,

P = 1400

r = 6.1% = 6.1/100 = 0.061,

t = 6 years

Therefore,

A = 1400(1 - 0.061)^6

A = 1400(0.939)^6

A = 960

one that is bigger than 3 1/2

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
