Answer:

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original amount would be decreasing and it's an exponential one, hence the "every year", we can determine that it's an exponential decay equation.

The exponential delay equation is y=A*(1-r)^t. The y is the remaining amount, A is the original amount, r is the rate in decimal form, and t is for years. "1-r" is for decreasing rates and "1+r" is for increasing rates.

First thing we need to do is turn the rate, 4.3%, from a percentage to a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal two places to the right, which gives you 0.043.

Now plug the numbers into the equation.

y=5,902,060*(1-0.043)^t

Simplify what's inside the parenthesis and get your final equation.

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

John runs to the market and comes back in 15 minutes. His speed on the way to the market is 5m/s and his speed on the way back i
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The distance to the market is 2000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ John runs to the market and comes back in 15 minutes

→ Change the min. to the sec. because the unit of his speed is m/s

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 15 minutes = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds

→ Assume that t1 is his time to the market and t2 is his time from

  the market

∵  t1 + t2 = 15 minutes

∴ t1 + t2 = 900 ⇒ (1)

→ Assume that the distance to the market is d

∵ His speed on the way to the market is 5m/s

∵ Time = Distance ÷ Speed

∴ t1 = d ÷ 5 ⇒ (1 ÷ 5 = 0.2)

∴ t1 = 0.2d ⇒ (2)

∵ His speed on the way back is 4m/s

∴ t2 = d ÷ 4 ⇒ (1 ÷ 4 = 0.25)

∴ t2 = 0.25d ⇒ (3)

→ Substitute (2) and (3) in (1)

∵ 0.2d + 0.25d = 900

∴ 0.45d = 900

→ Divide both sides by 0.45

∴ d = 2000 m

∴ The distance to the market = 2000 m

Is 1/2 greater than 4/5
Law Incorporation [45]
For this question you should know:
1/2 = 5/10

so you can see 8/10 is greater than 5/10 so the answer is no 
4/5 is greater than 1/2 :)))
