Oliver withdraws an amount of $285.10 from his saving account

His saving account earns 1.8% annually

The interest Oliver could have earned in five months:

Monthly interest = Annual interest ÷ 12
Monthly interest = 1.8% ÷ 12
Monthly interest = 0.018 ÷ 12 = 3/2000

After five months = Principle × (1 + interest)ⁿ
After five months = 285.10 × (1 + 0.018)⁵
After five months = 311.70

Interest earned = 311.70 - 285.10 = $26.60

kirill [66]

Answer:

A.) A person weights 80 kg can consume Haddock fish = 149 grams

B.) A person weights 80 kg can consume Swordfish fish = 8 grams

C.) A person weights 80 kg can consume Tuna fish = 23 grams

D.) A person weights 80 kg can consume Snapper fish = 50 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Mercury is a naturally occurring metal that can be harmful to humans. The current recommendation is for humans to take in no more than 0.1 microgram for every kilogram of their weight per day. Fish generally carry high levels of mercury, although certain fish have higher mercury content than others. Fish, however, are healthy sources of many other nutrients, so nutritionists recommend keeping them in the human diet. The figure below shows the average mercury content of several types of fish.

To find - If a person weighs 82 kg, how much of each fish can they safely consume? round to the nearest gram.

A.Haddock

B.Swordfish

C.Tuna

D.Snapper

Proof -

Firstly, determine how many micro grams of mercury a person can consume who weighs 82 kilograms.

⇒82 × 0.1 = 8.2 micro grams.

Now,

a.)

For Haddock fish-

It consumes 0.055 micro grams of mercury

So,

A person can consume fish = 8.2 ÷ 0.055

= 149.09 ≈ 149 grams

So,

A person weights 80 kg can consume Haddock fish = 149 grams

b.)

For Swordfish fish-

It consumes 0.995 micro grams of mercury

So,

A person can consume fish = 8.2 ÷ 0.995

= 8.24 ≈ 8 grams

So,

A person weights 80 kg can consume Swordfish fish = 8 grams

c.)

For Tuna fish-

It consumes 0.350 micro grams of mercury

So,

A person can consume fish = 8.2 ÷ 0.350

= 23.43 ≈ 23 grams

So,

A person weights 80 kg can consume Tuna fish = 23 grams

d.)

For Snapper fish-

It consumes 0.165 micro grams of mercury

So,

A person can consume fish = 8.2 ÷ 0.165

= 49.697 ≈ 50 grams

So,

A person weights 80 kg can consume Snapper fish = 50 grams

If JKLM is a rhombus, MK = 30, NL = 13, and mZMKL = 41°, find each measure.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

$NK = 15$

$JL = 26$

$KL = 19.85$

$\angle JKM =49$

$\angle JML =41$

$\angle MLK = 90$

$\angle MNL =90$

$\angle KJL =41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$MK = 30$

$NL = 13$

$\angle MKL = 41$

Solving (a): NK

MK is a diagonal and NK is half of the diagonal. So:

$NK = \frac{1}{2} * MK$

$NK = \frac{1}{2} * 30$

$NK = 15$

Solving (b): JL

JL is a diagonal, and it is twice of NL.

$JL = 2 * NL$

$JL = 2 * 13$

$JL = 26$

Solving (c): KL

To solve for KL, we consider triangle KNL where:

$\angle KNL = 90$

and

$KL^2 = NL^2 + NK^2$

$KL^2 = 13^2 + 15^2$

$KL^2 = 394$

$KL = \sqrt{394$

$KL = 19.85$

Solving (d - h):

To do this, we consider triangle JKN

$\angle KNL = \angle LNM = \angle MNJ = \angle JNK = 90$ -- diagonals bisect one another at right angle

Alternate interior angles are equal. So:

$\angle MKL = \angle KMJ = \angle KJL = \angle JLM = 41$

Similarly:

$\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 90 - 41$

$\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 49$

So:

$\angle JKM =49$

$\angle JML =41$

$\angle MLK = \angle MLJ + \angle JLK$

$\angle MLK = 49 + 41$

$\angle MLK = 90$

$\angle MNL =90$

$\angle KJL =41$

How is adding positive and negative fractions similar to adding intergers ?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

When you are adding or subtracting a negative fraction, you usually want to consider the numerator as negative. The method is just the same, except now you may need to add negative or positive numerators. Example 1: ... To add the fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.

Two planes left simultaneously from the same airport and headed in the same direction towards another airport 3600 km away. The

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

800 kph
600 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation</u>

Let s represent the speed of the faster plane. Then its travel time is ...

time = distance/speed = 3600/s

travel time for the slower plane is ...

time = distance/speed = 3600/(s -200)

The difference in these times is 1.5 hours, so we have ...

3600/(s -200) -3600/s = 1.5

<u>Solution</u>

Multiplying by (2/3)s(s -200), we get ...

2400(s) -2400(s -200) = s(s -200)

s^2 -200s -480000 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . rewrite in standard form

(s -800)(s +600) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The positive value of s that makes a factor zero is s = 800.

<u>Conclusion</u>

The speed of the faster plane was 800 km/h; of the slower plane, 600 km/h.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The travel time for the faster plane was 3600/800 = 4.5 hours. For the slower plane, 3600/600 = 6 hours, a difference of 1.5 hours.

Infections seldom start with a single bacterium. Suppose that you cut yourself on a rusty nail that puts 25

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: There would be 12,000 bacteria 8 hours after the initial infection.

Step-by-step explanation: You start with 25 cells and if they divide every 15 minutes, 25 multiplied by 15 gets you 375 cells every quarter of an hour. Then if you multiply that by the 32 quarter hours, you get 12,000 cells. To check that you can also multiply 25 by 15, still 375, then 375 by 4 for each quarter of the hour, then that gets you 1,500 cells every hour. If you multiply that by 8 for the 8 hours they have time to divide, you still get 12,000 cells.

I hope this helps!
