Okay. I am guessing that you are asking for the amount of water poured per minute. The bathtub already holds 12 gallons and 32 - 12 is 20. The tub is full in 5 minutes. Let’s divide. 20/5 is 4. There are 4 gallons of water filled in the tub per minute.

A student has a savings account earning 3% simple interest. She must pay $1200 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $12

Bingel [31]

Using simple interest, it is found that she needs to earn $2,391.07 during the summer.

<h3>Simple Interest</h3>

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)

In which:

A(0) is the initial amount.

r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

For this problem, the objective is to have $1200 in 3 months = 0.25 years, hence the parameters are given as follows:

A(0.25) = 1200, t = 0.25, r = 0.03.

Hence we have to solve for A(0):

A(0)(1 + 0.03 x 0.25) = 1200

A(0) = 1200/(1 + 0.03 x 0.25)

A(0) = $1,191.07.

She also needs to earn $1,200 to pay the first-semester bill on time, hence:

1200 + 1191.07 = $2,391.07.

She needs to earn $2,391.07 during the summer.

At 10 percent interest, how long does it take to quadruple your money?

horsena [70]

It takes about 14.55 years for quadruple your money

Solution:

Given that,

At 10 percent interest, how long does it take to quadruple your money

Rule of 144:

The Rule of 144 will tell you how long it will take an investment to quadruple

Here,

Rate of interest = 10 %

Therefore, number of years to quadruple your money is obtained by dividing 144 by 10

Rule of 144 Formula:

$N = \frac{144}{R}$

Where:

N = Number of many years times.

144 = Is the constant variable.

R = Rate of interest.

$\rightarrow N = \frac{144}{10} = 14.4$

Thus it takes about 14.4 years for quadruple your money.

Another method:

If initial amount is $ 1 and it if quadruples it should be $ 4

We have to find the number of years if rate of interest is 10 %

Let "n" be the number of years

Then we can say,

$Amount = Principal(1+\frac{R}{100})^n$

$4 = 1(1+\frac{10}{100})^n$

$4 = 1(1+0.1)^n\\\\4= 1(1.1)^n\\\\4 = 1.1^n\\\\We\ know\ that,\\\\(1.1)^{14.55} = 1.1^n\\\\We\ know\ that\\\\If\ a^m = a^n\ then\ m = n\\\\Therefore,\\\\14.55 = n\\\\n = 14.55$

Thus Option D 14.55 years is correct

2. The acute angle below has a degree measurement that is one fifth of the degree measure of the obtuse

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Acute angle = 30°

Obtuse angle = 150°

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Let x represent the measurement of the obtuse angle

Obtuse angle = x

Acute angle = ⅕ of x = x/5

Thus:

x + x/5 = 180° (angels on a straight line)

Solve for x

(5x + x)/5 = 180

Multiply both sides by 5

5x + x = 180 × 5

6x = 900

x = 900/6

x = 150

Obtuse angle = 150°

Acute angle = x/5 = 150/5 = 30°

Method 2:

Since acute angle = ⅕ of the obtuse angle, therefore,

Obtuse angle = 5*acute angle

Let acute angle = x

Obtuse angle = 5x

Equation:

5x + x = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Solve for x

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

Acute angle = x = 30°

Obtuse angle = 5x = 5*30 = 150°
