Salinas will use 32 gallons for 480 miles

<h3>How to calculate the number of gallons required ? </h3>

Salinas used 15.6 gallons of gas for 234 miles

Miles can be described as the distance travelled by an object or an individual

The first step is to calculate the number of miles travelled using 1 gallon

15.6= 234

1= x

cross multiply both sides

15.6x= 234

x= 234/15.6

x= 15

1 gallon will take her 15 miles

Therefore, the number of gallons required for 480 miles can be calculated as follows

1= 15

x= 480

cross multiply both sides

15x= 480

x= 480/15

x= 32

Hence Salinas will require 32 gallons for 480 miles of the journey

Answer:

$f(t) = 8400(1.0018)^{12t}$

2.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

$8400 is invested in an account earning 2.2% interest (APR), compounded monthly.

So, the value of the account after t years will be given by

$f(t) = 8400 (1 + \frac{2.2}{12 \times 100} )^{12t} = 8400(1.0018)^{12t}$ {Rounded to the four decimal places} (Answer)

Now, for t = 1 year, f(1) = $8586.67

So, the percentage of growth per year (APY) = $\frac{(8586.67 - 8400) \times 100}{8400} = 2.22$ % {Rounded to the nearest hundredth of percent} (Answer)

7. A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. What is the effective

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banker's rule is the simple interest formula.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time, in years.

The effective interest rate is given by the following formula:

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. We consider that the year has 360 days. This means that $P = 6200, I = 0.0884, t = \frac{40}{360} = \frac{1}{9}$ .

$E = 6200*0.0884*\frac{1}{9} = 60.9$

The effective interest rate is

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P} = \frac{60.9}{6200} = 0.0098 = 0.001$

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

A hot air balloon went from an elevation of 4,064 feet to an elevation of 3,322 feet in 28 minutes. What

ELEN [110]

Answer:

<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.

The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:

$\displaystyle R=\frac{3,322-4,064}{28}=\frac{-742}{28}=-26.5$

Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
