How do you know that 1.026÷5.051≠0.02 without doing the​ division?
OLga [1]

Answer:

Mental Math and Logic

Step-by-step explanation:

You might not have access to a calculator, so when times comes like this when you have to validate a statement if wrong or right, mental math comes in help.

You only need the approximate number to do something like mental math. Both numbers divided by each other, is really close to their whole numbers of 1 and 5, respectively. If you divide 1/5, you get 0.2, which is not what the answer is.  0.02 and 0.2 are very different answers, and you would not get 0.02 no matter how many decimals after that 1.0 and 5.0.

Which means the statement is not true based on logic and mental math.

Brenda took out a personal loan for $12,000 at an interest rate of 12% compounded monthly. She made arrangements to pay the loan
iragen [17]

Answer: her monthly payments would be $267

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the periodic interest rate formula which is expressed as

P = a/[{(1+r)^n]-1}/{r(1+r)^n}]

Where

P represents the monthly payments.

a represents the amount of the loan

r represents the annual rate.

n represents number of monthly payments. Therefore

a = $12000

r = 0.12/12 = 0.01

n = 12 × 5 = 60

Therefore,

P = 12000/[{(1+0.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1+0.01)^60}]

12000/[{(1.01)^60]-1}/{0.01(1.01)^60}]

P = 12000/{1.817 -1}/[0.01(1.817)]

P = 12000/(0.817/0.01817)

P = 12000/44.96

P = $267

Somebody help me !!!! HELPP please!!!
stellarik [79]
Step 1: Read and understand the problem statement.

You are given (time, depth) pairs of (20 s, 8 cm) and (40 s, 0 cm) and asked to write an equation that describes the relationship of depth (y) to time (x).

The rate of change is (0 cm -8 cm)/(40 s -20 s) = -8 cm/(20 s) = -2/5 cm/s. Then in point-slope form using the second point, the linear function rule is
  y = (-2/5)(x -40) +0
You can expand this to
  y = (-2/5)x +16
  y = -0.4x +16 . . . . . . using a decimal number for the slope

_____
If the bathtubs in your "draining race" start with the same level, the one with the steepest slope (-0.5 cm/s) will win.
