R example: 6 1/2 = 13/2 = 6.5
For the first example, six and a half is equal to thirteen halves, which
is then equal to six point five. To do this, the rule to turn a mix
number into a fraction is by multiplying the 2 with the 6 and then add
the answer to 1, which gives 13/2 (Remember to always give the same
denominator). Finally, thirteenth halves is equal to six point five
(because when you divide 13 by 2, you get 6 and one left over. To
continue dividing, add a 0 , and so 10 goes into 2 is five. so the
decimal is 6.5
<span>Let a_0 = 100, the first payment. Every subsequent payment is the prior payment, times 1.1. In order to represent that, let a_n be the term in question. The term before it is a_n-1. So a_n = 1.1 * a_n-1. This means that a_19 = 1.1*a_18, a_18 = 1.1*a_17, etc. To find the sum of your first 20 payments, this sum is equal to a_0+a_1+a_2+...+a_19. a_1 = 1.1*a_0, so a_2 = 1.1*(1.1*a_0) = (1.1)^2 * a_0, a_3 = 1.1*a_2 = (1.1)^3*a_3, and so on. So the sum can be reduced to S = a_0 * (1+ 1.1 + 1.1^2 + 1.1^3 + ... + 1.1^19) which is approximately $5727.50</span>
Answer:
Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.
A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)
In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.
(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =
8 + 0.9 + 0.05=
8.95
89.5/10 = 8.95
Solution: Telemarketing. the probability that a call will reach a live person is 0.2. the calls are independent. (a) a telemarketer places 5 calls. what is the probability that none of them reaches a live person.
Answer: The given random experiment can be considered as binomial experiment with probability of success = 0.2 and number of trials = 5
Therefore, we have:
Let x be the number calls that reach to live person.
We have to find 
Using the binomial probability distribution, we have:
Therefore, the probability that none of them reaches a live person is 0.3277
