12 red and 36 blue pens. 12/36 = 3/9 so the ratio is correct, and 12+36 = 48 workers.

Tia is investing $2500 that she would like to grow to $6000 in 10 years. At what annual interest rate, compounded quarterly, mus

Ghella [55]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

\\ \quad \\

\begin{cases}
A=\textit{current amount}\to &6,000\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$2,500\\
r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\to &0.0r\\
n=\textit{times it compounds per year, quarterly}\to &4\\
t=years\to &10
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\
meaning
\\ \quad \\

6,000=2,500\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 10}$

solve for "r"

notice, the "r" value, goes in the equation as a decimal, so 5% is really 5/100 or 0.05 25% is 0.25 and so on

so... the "r" that you'll get, will be a decimal value, multiply that by 100, and you'll get the percentage notation of it

$\bf 6,000=2,500\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 10}\implies\cfrac{6000}{2500}=\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{40}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{12}{5}=\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{40}\impliedby \textit{now, taking root }\sqrt[40]{\qquad }
\\ \quad \\
\sqrt[40]{\cfrac{12}{5}}=\sqrt[40]{\left(1+\frac{r}{4}\right)^{40}}\implies \sqrt[40]{\cfrac{12}{5}}=1+\cfrac{r}{4}
\\ \quad \\
\sqrt[40]{\cfrac{12}{5}}-1=\cfrac{r}{4}\implies 4\left( \sqrt[40]{\cfrac{12}{5}}-1 \right)=r \\ \quad \\
$
$\bf 0.0885119586095070592=r\implies 0.0885\cdot 100\implies 8.85\%=r$

If point P partitions the segment<br> AB in a 1:2 ratio, where is point P located?

Gwar [14]

If AP and PB are in a 1:2 ratio, it means that PB is twice AB.

So, AP must fit three times into AB, meaning that P must be at one third of the way between A and B.
