Question

A local biologist needs a program to predict population growth. The inputs would be: The initial number of organisms The rate of growth (a real number greater than 1) The number of hours it takes to achieve this rate A number of hours during which the population grows For example, one might start with a population of 500 organisms, a growth rate of 2, and a growth period to achieve this rate of 6 hours. Assuming that none of the organisms die, this would imply that this population would double in size every 6 hours. Thus, after allowing 6 hours for growth, we would have 1000 organisms, and after 12 hours, we would have 2000 organisms. Write a program that takes these inputs and displays a prediction of the total population. An example of the program input and output is shown below: Enter the initial number of organisms: 10 Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: 2 Enter the number of hours to achieve the rate of growth: 2 Enter the total hours of growth: 6 The total population is 80

i am using python

Answer 1

organisms=int(input('Enter the initial number of organisms: '))
rate=float(input('Enter the rate of growth [a real number > 0]: '))
totalHours=int(input('Enter the number of hours to achieve the rate of growth: '))
totalTime=int(input('Enter the total hours of growth: '))

n=totalTime//totalHours
organisms=organisms*rate**n
print('The total population is',organisms)
