The effective rate is calculated in the following way:

where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
Answer:
The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total length of one roll of ribbon = 9 feet
As the pieces have to be cut into inches, we will convert the measurement in feet to inches
As there are 12 inches in one feet, 9 feet will be equal to:
9*12 = 108 inches
Now first of all, we have to see how many 15 inches pieces can be cut from one role
So,

So the seamstress can cut 7 15-inch long pieces from a roll.
Now given that he has to cut from 5 rolls, the total number of 15-inch pieces will be:

Hence,
The greatest number of 15 inches pieces that can be cut from 5 rolls of length 9 feet is: 35
Answer:
6:1
Step-by-step explanation:
48:( 4+4 )
= 48:8
= <u>6:1</u>
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
