I ran into difficulty with this math problem:
According to 20th report of the International Commision on Whaling, the number of fin whales in the Antartctic during the period 1958-1963 was given by:
. . .N = -17,400t + 151,000 for 0 < t < 5
where t = 0 corresponds to January 1958, t = 1 corresponds to January 1959 and so on.
a) According to this equation, how many fin whales would there be left in April 1960?
I don't know how they figured out "9/4" for t.
