This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
s(t) = a(r)^{t}

where: 
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate

Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.

Now, we can calculate r:
r^{t}=\frac{s}{a}
r =  \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }
r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }
     = 1.18

Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18

REN fine six peanuts, four raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. For every 9 pieces in Ren's
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

2 raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total number of required ingredient.

We have been given that Ren finds 6 peanuts, 4 raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. We are asked to find of which ingredient Ren will have 2 pieces for a total of 9 pieces.

First of all, we will find total number of ingredients by adding each ingredient as:

\text{Total number of ingredients}=6+4+3+5

\text{Total number of ingredients}=18

Now, we will use ratio to solve for our given problem as:

\frac{\text{Required ingredient}}{\text{Total ingredient}}=\frac{2}{9}

\frac{x}{18}=\frac{2}{9}

\frac{x}{18}\cdot 18=\frac{2}{9}\cdot 18

x=\frac{2}{1}\cdot 2

x=4

Since there are 4 raisins, therefore, for  every 9 pieces in Ren's handful of trail mix there are 2 raisins.

What is the reciprocal of 6 3/7?
77julia77 [94]
I believe your answer is going to be -6 7/3. Reciprocals are the opposites of a number, so I switched the sign on the 6 and made it -. When dealing with fractions, the reciprocal is essentially just flipping the numerator and denominator, which is how I got 7/3. 

I hope I helped. Best of luck!
