Sherrell mowed 1/15 more than Trace because when you convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, you get 6/15 and 5/15.
The formula for simple interest is <em>I</em> = <em>prt</em>, where <em>I</em> is the amount of interest, <em>p</em> is the principal borrowed, <em>r</em> is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and <em>t</em> is the amount of time in years. First we find the amount of interest. He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375. That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest. We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(<em>r</em>)(5)
11375=35000(5)(<em>r</em>) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000<em>r</em>
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000<em>r</em>/175000
0.065 = <em>r</em>
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%
Check the picture below.
the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.
now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,


so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the properties of logarithms, the left side of the equation becomes

while the right hand side becomes

so we end up with
