A mile=5280 feet
1/40 mile*(5280 feet/1 mile)=132 feet

132 feet-------------------1/2 hour
x------------------------------1 hour
x=(132 feet*1 hour) / (1/2 hour)=264 feet/hour.

264 feet/h *(1 mile/5280 feet)=0.05 miles/ h

Solution: S=264 feet/h (≈0.05 miles/h)

What the * stands for ?

TEA [102]

Depends. It’s called an asterisk.
In math it’s used for multiplying.
So 5*5= 25

Please help!! With step by step

Answer:

$R=\$145.12$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Compound Interest</u>

This is a well-know problem were we want to calculate the regular payment R needed to pay a principal P in n periods with a known rate of interest i.

The present value PV or the principal can be calculated with

$P=F_a\cdot R$

Solving for R

$\displaystyle R=\frac{P}{F_a}$

Where Fa is computed by

$\displaystyle F_a=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}$

We'll use the provided values but we need to convert them first to monthly payments

$i=7\%=7/(12\cdot 100)=0.00583$

$n=3*12=36$

$\displaystyle F_a=\frac{1-(1+0.00583)^{-36}}{0.00583}$

$F_a=32.386$

Thus, each payment is

$\displaystyle R=\frac{4,700}{32.386}=145.12$

$\boxed{R=\$145.12}$
