Answer: option D.) 0.5 gallons / 1 day × 16 cups / 1 gallon × 7 days / 1 week


Explanation:


The answer is found by doing analyzing the dimensions (units) of the quantities, placing each factor in a way that lead to the cancellation of the  dimensions (units) until you reach the desired units.

You want to find an amount whose final (desired) units are  number of cups of water per week.

Therefore, you have to change the given volume of water, that is in gallons, to cups, and the given unit of time, that is in days, to weeks.

To do that, you use the conversion factors derived from the equivalences of the units:

  • 16 cups = 1 gallon

        division property ⇒ 1 = 16 cups / gallon

  • 1 week = 7 days

       division property ⇒ 1 = 7 days / week


The final step is multiply the given amount,  0.5 gallons of water per day, by the conversion factors that wre just built:


       0.5 gallon / 1 day = 0.5 gallon / (1 day) × 16 (cups / gallon) × (7 days / week)


When you follow the units in the expression of the right you verify that:

  • gallon appears first time in the numerator and a second time in the denominator so they cancel one to each other.
  • day appears first time in the numerator and a second time in the denominator, so they also cancel each other.
  • the units left are cups / week, which means that you are getting the  number of cups of water she drinks in a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given algebraic expression: 6x^3y+7x^2+5x+46x3y+7x2+5x+4

We know that the constants are the terms in the algebraic expression that contain only numbers.  

In the given expression only last term has only numerical value and no variable, rest of them have variable x.

Therefore, the constant term in the given algebraic expression  6x^3y+7x^2+5x+46x3y+7x2+5x+4 is

Teri invested $1500 in an account with an interest rate of 2.25% compounded continuously. How long will it take for Teri's accou
tester [92]

It will take 54 days for Teri's account to earn an amount of $5000.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest, also known as interest on principal and interest, is the practice of adding interest to the principal amount of a loan or deposit.

It occurs when interest is reinvested, or added to the loaned capital rather than paid out, or when the borrower is required to pay it, so that interest is generated the next period on the principal amount plus any accumulated interest. In finance and economics, compound interest is common.

It is given by formula

A = p*e^{r*t}

where:

A is final amount

p is principal amount

r is rate of interest and

t, is time period

Given: A= $5000, p=$1500, r=2.25% = 0.0225

To find: time period to get compounded amount

5000=1500×e^{0.0225*t}

e^{0.0225t} = \frac{10}{3}

0.0225t = ㏑ (\frac{10}{3})

t = 53.5099 ≈ 54 days
