You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself. 
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.

So first 4 times 4 is 16 and then add 2 to get 18

1) $400 interest is earned on a principal of $2,000 at a simple interest rate of 5%
Kitty [74]

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

I = $ 400

R = 5%

P =$ 2000

I = Prt

400 = 2000 * \frac{5}{100} * t

400 = 20 * 5 * t

400 = 100 t

\frac{400}{100}=t

t = 4 years

Answer:

The correlation coefficient r measures the direction and strength of a linear relationship. Calculating r is pretty complex, so we usually rely on technology for the computations. We focus on understanding what r says about a scatterplot.❤

Can you help me with this question?

Assuming you are focusing on the square only, then the answer is 9 inches.

You take the square root of 81 to get 9. Notice how 9^2 = 9*9 = 81. So if you're not familiar with square roots, then think backwards in a sense to get the answer.
