vesna_86 [32]

The answer is 84 green beads.

To get that you need to do 168 divide by 4 (four because I look at it like this 1:1:2 is like 1:1:1:1) That answer is 4 then double that and you get 84.

Samantha puts an initial $500 into a savings account. The account has a 4% annual compound interest rate. What is the function t

Licemer1 [7]

I use a bit of a different looking formula.

A(t)=P(1+r/n)^nt

P=amount of money. (500)
r= rate (in decimal. 4%=0.04)
n=number of times per year (1 in this problem)
t=amount of time. (5 years)

Plugged in it looks like this:

A(t)=500 (1+ 0.04/1)^1x5

Then I put it into my calculator like this:

0.04/1+ 0.04

Then add one to the above answer:

0.04+1=1.04

Then raise the above answer to the 1x5:

1.04^5=1.2166......

Then multiply the above answer by 500:

1.2166.... x 500=608.3264512

She has $608 after 5 years.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister. Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks. How many pairs of socks

Volgvan

Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be $x$ , and let the number of pairs Lucy has be $y$ .

Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that

$\frac{1}{3}x + 4 = y$ .............................. equation 1

Also , Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that

$y\leq 9$ ....................................... equation 2

Equating the two equations , we have

$\frac{1}{3}x + 4 \leq 9$

multiply through by 3

$x + 12\leq 27$

subtract 12 from both sides

$x\leq 15$

Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks

An equation is shown below:

Alex787 [66]

Multiply 4 with (2x-5)
8x-20+15=11
add 20 both sides
8x+15=31
subtract 15 both sides
8x=16
divide both sides by the x (8)
x=2

Sal and her three friends plan to bowl one or two games each. Each game costs $2.50 each. Identify the independent and dependent

tino4ka555 [31]

So the dependent is the number of games because it's not definite they dont know for sure. so the domain always involves money!!! always! the range wiyld be the numbers they migh play like 8-10 so 4 to 8 is the range value. so determining off of that the indepedent variable would be the total cost becuase it wont change so your answer is C hope this helped have a good day!!!
