Answer:
5/6 of a pound
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply 2/3 by 2 it will equal 4/6 making it smaller then 5/6. and divide the fraction and you will see which is smaller.
Hello there!
So, let's start off with the first one:
A) 60% of One - half x
I believe a couple of possible equations would be: 0.60*1/2x or 0.60*0.5x. 1/2 and 0.5 both equal half of a number. The 0.60 would equal 60%. I'll plug 10 into x of both equations to see what I come up with:
First Equation:
1/2 * 10/1 = 10/2 or 5.
0.60 * 5 = 3
Second Equation:
0.5 * 10 = 5
0.60 * 5 = 3
So they both come up with the same answer, so that makes them both equal, which makes them both possible equations.
B) 7 times z reduced by a third of the product
7z - 1/3 seems like a good equation. Let me plug in 5 for z to solve:
7 * 5 = 35
Convert 35/1 into 105/3 by multiplying both sides by 3
105/3 - 1/3 = 104/3 (approx. 34.7)
C) Three-fourths of V subtracted from 6 times two-ninths
A good equation for this would probably be (6*2/9)-3/4v. I'll plug 5 into v to show how we would solve the equation:
6/1 * 2/9 = 12/9 or 1 1/3.
3/4 * 5/1 = 15/4 or 3 3/4.
(Use the fractions 16/12 and 45/12 as 16/12 = 12/9 and 15/4 = 45/12)
16/12 - 45/12 = -29/12 or −<span>2 <span>5/12</span></span>
D) Sum of 2x, (2/3 + 5) and 11-x
I think the right equation for this would be 2x + (2/3 + 5) + 11-x. Plug in 3 for x to solve:
(Use 15/3 when adding 2/3 and 5 because 5 = 15/3)
2/3 + 15/3 = 17/3 or 5 2/3
2 * 3 = 6
11 - 3 = 8
(Use 18/3 and 24/3 when adding up 6 + 5 2/3 + 8 as 6 = 18/3 and 8 = 24/3
17/3 + 18/3 + 24/3 = 59/3 or 19 2/3
Sorry if this confused you xD but, basically, the possible equations are as follows:
1 = 0.60*1/2x or 0.60*0.5x
2 = 7z - 1/3
3 = <span>(6*2/9)-3/4v
</span>4 = 2x + (2/3 + 5) + 11-x
I hope this helped! If not, I'm very sorry. Algebra isn't my strong suit ^.^'
This is like late elementary/early middle school stuff where you learn this.
First off, what number is in the position of the hundereth place? 0? No. 1? No. 5 yes! Now how i learned how to round is you take the number to the right of whatever you are being asked about and round it up or down. Now if the number (in this case it is 1) is lower than 5, you round down (or keep it the same) but if it is 5 or higher you round up. since 1 is lower then 5, that 5 in the hundereths place stays the same.
Answer:
3.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Each year, Louis earned
$1500×0.035 = $52.50
in interest.
The amount of interest that had been credited to his account at the time of withdrawal was ...
$1683.75 -1500.00 = $183.75
Then the length of time the money had been in the account was ...
$183.75/($52.50/yr) = 3.5 yr
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
We have assumed the account earned simple interest. Given the neatness of the answer, we believe that to be a correct assumption.
