Answer:

$334.37

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many years are between 2013 and 1626 by subtracting them.

2013-1626 = 387 years

Next, we use the formula for simple interest.

Answer = Principal*rate *time

or A = p*r*t

The Principal is the initial amount of $, so p = 24

The rate is 3.6%, in decimal form is 0.036, so r = 0.036

Time = 387

So, we plug all that in together to get A = 24*0.036*387

A = 334.368

What is (64x^2y^3)-1/2 as radical expression?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8xy \sqrt{y} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3} )^{ - \frac{ 1 }{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{(64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3} )^{\frac{ 1 }{2} } } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3}} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ {(8xy)}^{2} y} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{8xy \sqrt{y} }$

A fruit seller has 3 crates of apples. Each crate has 100 apples. If he packed 6 apples in 1 box. Which of these gives the numbe

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

300 divided by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Number of crates of apple owned by fruit seller = 3 crates

Number of apples in each crate = 100 apples

He packed 6 apples in 1 box;

Unknown:

Number of boxes needed to pack all the apples = ?

This problem is pretty straight forward;

Number boxes needed to pack all apples = $\frac{Number of crates owned by fruit seller x number of apples per crate}{Number of apples per box}$

Input the parameters and solve;

Number of boxes need to pack all apples = $\frac{100 x 3}{6}$ = $\frac{300}{6}$

So the solution is 300 divided by 6

Suppose you have a mean standardized score of 1500 points with a standard deviation of 150 points. This data is normally distrib

Bond [772]

Answer:

z-score for 900 points = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the z scores

z=(x-mean)/standard deviation

z=(900-1500)/150

z= -600/150
