A town's population is currently 1,000. If the population doubles every 16 years, what will the population be 48 years from now?

Step-by-step explanation:

⟹ current population = 1000

⟹ 16 years = double population

⟹ 48 years = 48/16×1000

⟹ 48 Years = 3×1000

⟹ 48 years = 3000

⟹ Hence, after 48 years town population increases 3000.

⟹ so, current population is 3000 + 1000 = 4000.

Hope it's helps you

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
