The rabbit population in a forest begins with 20 rabbits and increases steadily by 40 rabbits every month. The equation for rabbit population, R, in terms of time, in months, t, is?

R = 40t + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the equation y = mx + b to solve this because it's linear.

"m" is the slope, or the rate. Here, we know that the population increases by 40 rabbits per month, which means m = 40.

"b" usually means that fixed, initial amount. Here, we know that the population begins at 20 rabbits, which means b = 20.

Plug these in:

R = mt + b

R = 40t + 20

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
