Answer:

<u>The  annual interest rate was 4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

Duration of the loan = 2 years

Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

Annual interest rate = x%

2. Let's find the annual interest rate after 2 years, using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + x)

PV = Loan to Kenneth's niece to buy a computer = US$ 1,200

FV = Niece paid back to Kenneth = US$ 1,296

rate (r) = x

Replacing with the real values:

1,296 = 1,200 * (1 + x)

1.296/1.200 = (1 + x) (Dividing by 1,200 at both sides)

1.08 = 1 + x

1.08 - 1 = x (Subtracting 1 at both sides)

<u>0.08 = x</u>

This is the interest rate for two years, for finding the annual interest rate we divide it by 2, this way:

<u>0.08 / 2 = 0.04 * 100 = 4%</u>

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression 2/5 divided by 4 ?
erik [133]

Answer:

C) 2/5×1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing by a number is the same by multiplying by the reciprocal of the number.

For Example:

1/2 divided by 3 would be the same as 1/2 x 1/3

So for this problem we are given that 2/5 is divided by 4 which would be the same as 2/5 multiplied by the reciprocal of 4 which is 1/4 and thus the answer is option C which is 2/5×1/4
