Answer:

$20,960

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for amount after simple interest A = P(1 + rt)

"A" is the final amount

"P" is principal, or starting amount

"r" is the interest rate as a decimal

"t" is the time in years

We finding "A".

P = 8000

r = 9%/100 = 0.09

t = 18

Substitute the values into the formula, then solve to get the final answer.

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 8,000(1 + (0.09)(18))

Remember to follow BEDMAS order when solving. Solve brackets first.

A = 8,000(1 + (0.09)(18)) Multiply in brackets.

A = 8,000(1 + 1.62) Add in brackets.

A = 8,000(2.62) Multiply

A = 20,960 Answer

Therefore Melissa's college fund account will have a total amount of $20,960.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following end points (10,5) and (6,9)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x, y) be the mid-point

Given the points

(10,5)

(6,9)

Using the formula to find the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9)

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

Here:

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(10,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:9\right)$

Thus,

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{6+10}{2},\:\frac{9+5}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Therefore, the mid-point between the endpoints (10,5) and (6,9) is:

$\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(8,\:7\right)$

Convert the rate 1000 ounces per 2 hours to cups per minutes?

Andrews [41]

125 cups in 120 minutes (because 1000 oz/8 = 125 cups and 2 hrs is 120 minutes)

$\frac{125}{120} = \frac{n}{1}$

now reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 = (optional)
$\frac{25}{24} = \frac{n}{1}$
So 24n = 25 Divide both sides by 24
n= 1 1/24 cups per minute
