Answer:
Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
fruit flies at the beginning of the experiment = 200 fruit flies
rate of increase of fruit flies = 5 per hour
to calculate the number of flies after 14 days.
time = 14 days = 14 × 24 = 336 hours
flies after 14 days = initial number of flies + rate of increase × time
= 200 + 5 × 336
= 1880 fruit flies.
hence,Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.
