Explanation:

The resources are divided into two groups in general, one being the renewable resources, and the other being the nonrenewable resources. The division is in accordance to the manner in which they form and are they replenished naturally quick enough in accordance to their usage.

The renewable resources are the ones that replenish themselves constantly, so they are always at disposal, while the nonrenewable are the ones that are used much faster than their rate of replenishing. A prime example of nonrenewable resource is the crude oil, which is in huge demand and is used extensively, but it needs to millions of years to replenish itself. Other resources that fall into this category are the natural gas and the coal.

answer; /// i believe that the correct answer is (50%);

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
