The 2000 u. s. census reports the populations of bozeman, montana, as 27,509 and butte, montana, as 32,370. since the 1990 census, bozeman’s population has been increasing at approximately 1.96% per year. butte’s population has been decreasing at approximately 0.29% per year. assume that the growth and decay rates stay constant.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Bozeman: P(5) = 27,509 (1.0196)  ^ 5 = 30,313 
Butte: P(5) = 32,370 (0.9971)  ^ 5 = 31,903 

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
