You must find the relative rates of both workers...

T=f/3 and J=f/2  so if they work together to clear the field then:

ft/3+ft/2=f  make all terms have a common denominator of 6

(2/2)(ft/3)+(3/3)(ft/2)=(6/6)f

2ft/6+3ft/6=6f/6  multiply both sides by 6

2ft+3ft=6f  divide both sides by f

2t+3t=6  combine like terms on left side

5t=6  divide both sides by 5

t=6/5 hr

t=1 1/5 hr

t=1 hr 12 min

You have 24 months left until you graduate and you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day. If you invest $3
shusha [124]

Answer: No, the money won't be enough to buy the car

Step-by-step explanation:

you plan on buying yourself a new $20,000 car on graduation day and graduation day is 24 months time. If you invest $300 a month for the next 24 months.

The principal amount, p = 300

He is earning 4% a month, it means that it was compounded once in four months. This also means that it was compounded quarterly. So

n = 4

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 4%. So

r = 4/100 = 0.04

It was compounded for a total of 24 months. This is equivalent to 2 years. So

n = 2

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount that would be compounded at the end of n years.

A = 300(1 + (0.04/4)/4)^4×2

A = 300(1 + 0.01)^8

A = 300(1.01)^8

A = $324.857

The total amount at the end of 24 months is below the cost of the car which is $20000. So he won't have enough money to buy the car

Find point P that divides segments AB into a 2:3 ratio.
nasty-shy [4]
\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(-3,1)\qquad B(3,5)\qquad
\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{2:3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3A=2B\implies 3(-3,1)=2(3,5)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -3)+(2\cdot 3)}{2+3}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(3\cdot 1)+(2\cdot 5)}{2+3}\right)
\\\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{-9+6}{5}~~,~~\cfrac{3+10}{5}  \right)\implies P=\left(-\frac{3}{5}~~,~~\frac{13}{5}  \right)
