Answer: It is greater than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction, it gives you 9(1x9). Then, multiply the denominator of the first fraction with the numerator of the second fraction, it gives you 8(4x2). After that, multiply the denominator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction, it gives you 18(2x9). Finally sum the first two answers you got, 8 and 9 = 17, and put this number (17) above the 18. So, the fraction will be 17/18 and this is less than 1 cause it would have to be 18/18 to be 1.

Earl invested 6,000 in a money market account that pays 5% interest quarterly. How much money will he have in his account after

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The amount becomes $6964.53 after 3 years .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Amount = P (1+\frac{r}{4})^{4t}$

Where P is the principle , r is the rate of interest in the decimal form and t is the time in the years .

As given

Earl invested 6,000 in a money market account that pays 5% interest quarterly for 3 years .

P = $6000

5% is written in the decimal form.

$= \frac{5}{100}$

= 0.05

r = 0.05

t = 3 years

Putting all the values in the formula

$Amount = 6000(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4\times 3}$

$Amount = 6000(1+0.0125)^{12}$

$Amount = 6000\times 1.16075452$

$Amount =\$ 6964.53\ (Approx)$

Therefore the amount becomes $6964.53 after 3 years .

A1 Plumbing Service charges $35 per hour plus a $25 travel charge for a service call. Good Guys Plumbing Repair charges $40 per

AlladinOne [14]

A1 = 35x+25

Good guys = 40x

35x+25 = 40x

subtract 3x x from each side

25 = 5x

divide each side by 5

x = 25/5 = 5

so 5 hours they would be the same cost, anything over 5 hours and A1 would be better

so X>5 for A1 to be the better price
