The fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. what is the common ratio? –0.02 –0.98 0.02 0.98

D. 0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the fish population in a lake decreases by 2% each year. We are asked to find the common ratio.

The fish population is decreasing 2% each year. This means that each next year the fish population is 98% (100-2) of the fish population of last year.

So the common ration would be 98%. Upon converting 98% in decimal we will get,

Therefore, common ration is 0.98 and option D is the correct choice.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right
