She deposited two amounts, let's say "a" and "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest

the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a

now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190

so.. one can say that (2% of a) + (2.5% of b) = 1190
let' us use the decimal notation then
\frac{2}{100}a+\frac{2.5}{100}b=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025b=1190
\\ \quad \\
\textit{however, we know "b" is 2a thus}
\\ \quad \\
0.02a+0.025\boxed{b}=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025(\boxed{2a})=1190

solve for "a" to find what the "a" amount is,
to find "b", well, "b" is "2a", so just do a 2*a to get "b"

A circular plot with a 160 foot diameter is watered by a spray irrigation system. To the nearest square foot, what is the area t
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A circular plot is watered by a sprinkler that rotates through it. The sprinkler only rotates through a semi-circle, or half of the whole circle.

Area of a circle: A = pi x r^2

r = 160 / 2 = 80

A = pi x 80^2

A = 6400pi / 2 = 3200pi

3200pi = 10053.0965

The area water is approximately 10,053 ft^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

Which number line best shows the position of square root of 7? Number line with numbers negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, nega
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Number line with numbers negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 labeled. A dot is made at 2.6 and labeled as square root of 7

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- We want to know the position of √7 on the number line, then:

1- Square the √7

# (√7)² = 7

2- Search 7 is between which two square numbers

# 7 is between 4 and 9 which are square numbers

3- ⇒ 4 < 7 < 9 ⇒ take √ for all

# 2 < √7 < 3

∴ The value of √7 is between 2 and 3

* Lets look to the answer to find the correct answer

∵ The first answer is:

   A dot is made at 1.7 and labeled as square root of 7

∵ 1.7 is not between 2 and 3

∴ The first answer is not true

∵ The second answer is:

   A dot is made at 2.6 and labeled as square root of 7

∵ 2.6 is between 2 and 3

∴ The second answer is true

∴ Number line with numbers negative 4, negative 3, negative 2,

  negative 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 labeled. A dot is made at 2.6 and labeled

  as square root of 7
