Answer:

1/6 of a quart

Step-by-step explanation:

They have a total of 1/2 quart of milk. They are splitting it 3 ways; this means we divide 1/2 by 3:

1/2 ÷ 3

We can write 3 as 3/1:

1/2 ÷ 3/1

To divide fractions, we flip the second one and multiply:

1/2 × 1/3

To multiply fractions, we multiply straight across:

1/2×1/3 = 1/6

Question 3 Please. I'm really stuck :(

Stells [14]

Let ∠RTS=∠RST = a (say)
∠QUA=∠QSU= b(say)
then we know , at point S, a+40+b=180. so, a+b=140 we'll use this later.

consider trianglePQR, ∠P+∠Q+∠R=180
i.e.P+(180-2b)+(180-2a)=180
P+180+180-2(a+b)=180 ⇒P+180-2(a+b)=0 ⇒P=2(140)- 180=280-180=100
hence,answer is E

A principal of $3600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 6 years?

zaharov [31]

After 6 years the investment is $5555.88

Step-by-step explanation:

A principal of $3600 is invested at 7.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 6 years?

The formula used to find future value is:

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A(t) = Accumulated amount

P = Principal Amount

r = annual rate

t= time

n= compounding periods per year

We are given:

P = $3600

r = 7.5 %

t = 6

n = 1

Putting values in formula:

$A(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\\A(t)=3600(1+\frac{0.075}{1})^{6*1}\\A(t)=3600(\frac{1.075}{1})^6\\A(t)=3600(1.075)^6\\A(t)=3600(1.543)\\A(t)=5555.88$

So, After 6 years the investment is $5555.88
