Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of first piece = x in

length of second piece = 2x

length of third piece = 5x

x+2x+5x= 16

8x =16

x =16/8

x=2

length of :

first piece =2 inches

second piece = 4 inches

third piece = 10 inches..

Answer:

2, 4, 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The first piece is x thus the second piece is 2x ( twice as long as first ) and

the third piece is 5x ( five times as long as the first )

Add the 3 together and equate to 16

x + 2x + 5x = 16, that is

8x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Thus

first piece = x = 2 in

second piece = 2x = 2 × 2 = 4 in

third piece = 5x = 5 × 2 = 10 in

Answer:

$3,623.84 Exact answer without rounding | $3,623.85 ~ (Approximent Answer with rounding.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound Interest Has a Specific Formula:

This case is Exponential Growth.

Formula: y= ab^x

You need to set up the equation.

First we need to define the rate of growth meaning what do you have to do for the 6.5%.

You need to do 100% + 6.5% = 106.5%

You need to convert the percent to a decimal which will be 1.065


Now we need to start plugging things into our formula to solve.

Your initial Starting amount was $3000

So you need to have y=3000(b)^x

We now know that the rate of growth is 1.065 so the b would be 1.065

y=3000(1.065)^x

Our power to x is our 3.5 years.

Our Equation now:

y=3000(1.065)^3

Now you need to use a calculator to do this due to the amount of decimals and digits.

Remember pemdas when doing this!!!

The answer should result to $3,623.84 but if rounded then: $3,623.85
