A town has a population of 3000 and grows at 4% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the population will reach 4700?

14.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The town grows 4% (0.04) every year.

3000 x 0.04 = 120, so the town gains 120 people every year.

The town needs 1700 more people to get to 4700.

So, 4700/120= 14.1666666667

That rounds up to 14.2 years.

Hope this helped :)

me i beg !

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
