Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
just took it
Answer:
The rate is
cups per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
It took the faucet 1 1/2 hours equivalent 3/2 hours to fill 1/4 cup by leaking
We need to find the rate in terms of cups that can be filled by water in 1 hour.
Using unitary method:
it takes
for
cup
it will take 1 h for how many cups?

Hence, the rate is
cups per hour
C because you need to use the formula and then calculate
John's effective annual rate is about
(1 +.0576/4)^4 -1 ≈ 5.8856%
According to the "rule of 72", John's money will have doubled in
72/5.8856 = 12.23 years
John's balance will be $4500 in 1989.
_____
Since you're only concerned with the year (not the month), you don't actually need to determine the effective annual rate. The given rate of 5.76% will tell you 72/5.76 = 12.5 years. The actual doubling time is closer to 12.12 years, so using the effective rate gives results that are closer, but "good enough" is good enough in this case.
