One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.

Ava deposited $14 in a savings account that earns 2.7% simple interest. What would the graph look like?
katen-ka-za [31]

Deposited amount = $14.

Rate of interest =  2.7%

In decimals 2.7 could be written by dividing 2.7 by 100, we get

0.027.

Interest earned each year = 2.7% of $14 = 0.027*14 = $0.378.

We can make a table to balance by after each year.

First year balance: First year interest + Deposited amount = 0.378 +14 = $14.378.

Second year balance: Second year interest + Deposited amount = 2*0.378 +14 = 0.756+ 14 = $14.756.

Third year balance: Third year interest + Deposited amount = 3*0.378 +14 = 1.134+ 14 = $15.134.

We get four coordinates to graph A(0,14), B(1, 14.378) , C(2, 14.756) and D(3, 15.134).

Plotting those coordinates of the points A, B, C and D on the graph.

To determine the hypotenuse, use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Place 80 as "a" and 39 as "b". Your formula should look like 80^2 + 39^2 = c^2.

Next, plug this into your calculator to get 7921. Then square root 7921.
