First, convert your mixed number into a fraction by multiplying 4 and 6 and adding that to the numerator: 4 1/6 4 x 6 = 24 24 + 1 = 25 4 1/6 = <u>25/6</u> Note that any whole number can be put over one and still be that number. Therefore: 10 = 10/1 Now, our problem is: 25/6 / 10/1 When you divide fractions, that is the same as multiplying the reciprocal: 25/6 x 1/10 Multiply both the numerator and denominator straight across to get: 25/60 Divide both sides by the GCF, 5, to get: <u><em>5/12</em></u> This cannot be simplified any further, so this is the final answer.

To add 7.5% to a number you simply multiply the number by 1.075. To compound that amount year after year, you raise 1.075 to an exponent that corresponds to the number of years. 2600*(1.075^8)=<span>4637.04234646</span>
