A garden snail traveled 1⁄40 of a mile in 1⁄2 an hour. What was the speed of the snail?

1 answer:

7 0

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)

Khalid invested $9500 in a savings account with a yearly interest rate of 3% for 8 years. How much simple interest did he earn?

NemiM [27]

So simple interest, you don't compound anything, you will always add 3% from $9500 and it will not change. The equation will look like this:

9500*[1+(0.03*8)]
giving us 9500*1.24 = $11,780

Find the least whole number that can replace blank 80 to make the statement true. ÷ 18 > 86

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

649

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression :

__ ÷ 18 > 86

Let blank = y

y ÷ 18 > 36

y / 18 > 36

Multiply both sides by 18

(y / 18) * 18 > 36 * 18

y > 648

Hence, the least whole number which can make the statement true is (648 + 1) = 649
