Answer 1

The common ratio when the fish population is decreasing by 2% will be 0.98

What will be the Common ratio?

It is given that the fish population in the lake is decreasing by 2% every year.

Now to find the common ratio we will calculate next year's population

The next year's population will be given as

$100-2=98$

Here the population of the fish will be 98% for the next year or we can convert it

98 % =   $\dfrac{98}{100} =0.98$

Thus the common ratio when the fish population is decreasing by 2% will be 0.98
