A population of ants is growing at a rate of 8% a year. If there are 160 ants in the initial population, find the number of ants after 6 years

253 ants

Step-by-step explanation:

160 ants to begin with.

8% yearly growth

8% of 160 is 12.8

for year 2, 8% of 172.8 is 13.824

then 8% of 186.624 is  14.92992

year 4: 8% of 201.55392 is 16.1243136

5: 8% of 217.6782336  is 17.4142586

finally, year 6: 8% of 235.092492288 is 18.807399383

so the total ants after 6 years is 253.899891671

but you cant have .8 ant so drop the decimal

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
