What is the School Subject? If you want help with your homework, this question seems not to require a social studies or English tutor. Is this biology, math, or what is your subject?
it will take t hours, where
1.039^t = 2
1.039^t = 2
and if you are unfamiliar with log equations, take the log of each side..
t*log1.039=log2
t= log(2)/log(1.030
and put this into your google search window
log(2)/log(1.030) =
and it is about 23 hours...
