pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.

The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.

What's the estimated length of a wall that has 31 studs 16 inches on center?

devlian [24]

Answer:

480 inches (40 feet)

Explanation:

Studs are boards placed on walls so as to support the walls. Studs are used in framing the wall and they are vertical.

Studs are usually spaced on walls with wall framing at either 16 inches on center, 19 inches on center or 24 inches on centers.

Given that on center spacing = 16 inches, number of studs = 31

The length of the wall is given by the formula:

number of studs = (length of wall in inches / on center spacing in inches) + 1

Length of wall (inches) = (number of studs - 1) * on center spacing

hence:

Length of wall (inches) = (31 - 1) * 16 inches = 480 inches

Length of wall = 480 inches = 40 feet
