Mathematics

1) D

2) C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The blue algae has an initial mass of 20 kg and doubles its mass every hour. Then after t hours, the mass of blue algae is

$M_1=20\cdot 2^t\ kg$

2. The green algae has an initial mass of 160 kg and grows at a constant rate of 0.20 kg per minute. Then after t hours (60t minutes), the mass of green algae is

$M_2=160+0.20\cdot 60t\ kg.$

Part I) At t=3:

$M_1=20\cdot 2^3=160\ kg,\\ \\M_2=160+0.2\cdot 60\cdot 3=160+36=196\ kg.$

The mass of green algae has 196-160=36 kg more mass at 3 hours.

Part II) At t=4:

$M_1=20\cdot 2^4=320\ kg,\\ \\M_2=160+0.2\cdot 60\cdot 4=160+48=208\ kg.$

The blue algae has 320-208=112 kg more mass at 4 hours.
