On February 1, 1977, John deposited $2250 into a savings account paying 5.76% interest, compounded quarterly. If he hasn't made

any additional deposits or withdrawals since then, and if the interest rate has stayed the same, in what year did his balance hit $4500, according to the rule of 72?

John's effective annual rate is about
  (1 +.0576/4)^4 -1 ≈ 5.8856%
According to the "rule of 72", John's money will have doubled in
  72/5.8856 = 12.23 years

John's balance will be $4500 in 1989.

_____
Since you're only concerned with the year (not the month), you don't actually need to determine the effective annual rate. The given rate of 5.76% will tell you 72/5.76 = 12.5 years. The actual doubling time is closer to 12.12 years, so using the effective rate gives results that are closer, but "good enough" is good enough in this case.

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that multiplication and division will result in a positive number if no or two negative signs are present. So here, you ignore the negative signs.

All you really have to do is divide 50 by 2, which results in 25.

Which fraction is in reduced form?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  C  5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is written in reduced form if there are no common factors in the numerator and denominator. Since you know your multiplication tables, you can easily identify the common factors:

  A 20 = 5·4, so 4 is a common factor 4/(4·5) = 1/5

  B 6 = 2·3, 9 = 3·3, so 3 is a common factor (2·3)/(3·3) = 2/3

  C 13 is not a multiple of the prime number 5, so there are no common factors. 5/13 is a reduced fraction

  D 14 = 2·7, 21 = 3·7, so 7 is a common factor (2·7)/(3·7) = 2/3
