p=1
Step-by-step explanation:


20,000 = P ( 1 + 0.1 )^4
20,000 = P * 1.1^4
20,000 = P * 1.461
P = 20,000 : 1.461 ≈ $13,689.25
Answer: Miranda needs to put now in the bank $13,689.25
11-5=6
18-11-7
26-18=8
........... so on and so forth.
I think you get the point.
Step 1: Convert the denominators to the same number.
1/9 = 2/18
2/3 = 12/18
5/18
Step 2: Add the numerators.
12 + 2 + 5 = 19
Step 3: Convert to mixed number.
19/18 = 1 1/18
Hope this helps! :)
