Nancy has a 3.5-pound bag of birdseed. She uses 3/4 of the bag to fill a bird feeder in her garden. Then, she puts 0.25 pounds in a dish to give to her pet canaries. How much birdseed does she have left?

0.625lb bag of bird seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts with a 3.5 lb bag,

Then she uses 3/4 of the bag, so find the remaining amount in the bag, which would be 1/4 of the original weight;

1/4 * 3.5

= 1/4 * 7/2

= 7/8

Then she removes 0.25 lbs of weight, hence take away 0.25 (the amount removed) from 7/8 (the current weight of the bag).

7/8 - 0.25

= 7/8 - 1/4

= 7/8 - 2/8

= 5/8

So she has a 5/8lb bag of bird seeds or a 0.625lb bag.

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
