Answer
See below
Work Step by Step
Given:
$M=280g\\
a=0.25\\
m_0=8g$
75% of its fully grown size means $m=280\times\frac{75}{100}=210$
Obtain: $210=(280)[1-(1-\frac{8}{280}^{\frac{1}{4}})e^{\frac{-0.25t}{4(280)^{\frac{1}{4}}}}]^4 $
Solve for $t$ we have: $t=240$
Hence, it will take240 days for the rat to reach 75% of its fully grown size
