Question

How many years will it take for the deer population to reach 500? round to the nearest year

Answer 1

12 Years

Explanation:

216 - 168 = 48 (new deer every 3 years)

48 / 3 = 16 (new deer every 1 year)

Since we end at the year 2009, we need to start counting from 312 deer.

500 - 312 = 188 (Needed new deer)

188 / 16 = 11.75 (Years needed)

11.75 rounded to the year (whole number) is 12.
