The Solution.

In 1966, which is the initial year(t); t = 0, and minimum wage(y), y = $1.25

Similarly.

In 2015, t = 49 years , (that is, 1966 to 2015), and y = $8.75

The rate of growth to the nearest percent is

\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{y_2-y_1}{t_2-t_1}\times100\begin{gathered} \text{Where y}_2=8.75,t_2=49\text{ years} \\ y_1=\text{ \$1.25},t_1=0 \end{gathered}

Substituting into the formula above, we get

\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{8.75-1.25}{49-0}\times100\text{Rate of growth = }\frac{7.5}{49}\times100=15.31\approx15\text{ \%}

Hence, the correct answer is 15%

Evaluate the expression m÷n for m=2 and n=14.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 2 for m, and 14 for n in the expression:

m/n = 2/14

Simplify. Factor out common factors from both the numerator and denominator:

(2/14)/(2/2) = 1/7

1/7 is your answer.

Fill in the missing numbers along the sides of the triangle so that it contains each of the numbers from 4 through 12 exactly on
elixir [45]

Answer:  A B == 9 + 11   CD == 5 +7  E F == 6 + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(This reminds me of a "formula" I developed a few years ago when I was photographing formal groups, and had to figyre out how many people to put in each row, and the rows had to be different lengths)  Anyway--

Get the sum of the numbers at the angles, subtract that number from 32, and that's the amount needed for the row.

Once I have that number, divide by 2 and split as "n + 1 and n-1

AB side:  angles given: 8 +4=12 , 32-12 =20  20/2 = 10;  10+1 =11  10-1=9

CD side: angles given:  8 + 12 =20, 32-20=12; 12/2 =6  6+1 =7 6-1 =5

EF side: angles given:  4 + 12 =16 32-16=16  My formula would have yielded 7+9, but those numbers were already used. Conveniently, 10 + 6 are left over.   Same principle, but + or - 2.

Thanks for the opportunity to work in this!

It is a fun way for me to end my participation in Brainly for a while. My school year is over!

Good Luck, Stay Safe!
