Answer:

The interest rate is of 21.09% a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time.

So, for our problem, we have:

If $1600 earned simple interest of $56.24 in 2 months, so:

P = 1600, E = 56.24.

The interest value is a yearly value, however the time is given in months. This means that we have to divide the time by 12(that is the number of months in a year). So

t = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}

Solution:

56.24 = 1600*I*\frac{1}{6}

1600I = 6*56.24

1600I = 337.44

I = \frac{337.44}{1600}

I = 0.2109

The interest rate is of 21.09% a year.

The table below shows the relationship between the number of teaspoons of baking powder in a mix and the height of fudge brownie
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Option A. y=0.28x+0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the height of fudge brownies in centimeters

x ----> teaspoons of baking powder

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

take the points

(5,2.15) and (6,2.43)

substitute the values

m=\frac{2.43-2.15}{6-5}

m=\frac{0.28}{1}=0.28

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=0.28

(x1,y1)=(5,2.15)

substitute

y-2.15=0.28(x-5)

Isolate the variable y

y-2.15=0.28x-1.4

y=0.28x-1.4+2.15

y=0.28x+0.75

AysviL [449]

Answer:

S= 750t

Step-by-step explanation:

If Clark travels 750 feet in 2 minutes then Clark's speed can be represented by the equation distance × time

Hence equation for the relationship between distance traveled by Clark and time will be given by

S= dt

=S=750t

Where S= Clark's speed, d = Clark's distance and t = Clark's time
