Practice 2
The Dalton County Fair had 156 exhibitors last year. The Clinton County Fair had 281 exhibitors last year.
The number of exhibitors entering in the fair increases annually, each at its own constant rate. The fair boards agree that if each of these county fairs continues to welcome new exhibitors at the current rate, five years from now they will have the same number of exhibitors for the first time. In subsequent years, the Dalton County Fair will have more exhibitors each year than the Clinton County Fair.
In the table below, identify the rates of increase in annual exhibitors for each fair that together meet the exhibitor forecasts described above. Make only two selections, one in each column.
