Answer:Yes, Naomi is incorrect.

Explanation: For explain this we can consider an example - Let us suppose Naomi deposited 100 rupees in her saving account at the rate 6% for 1 year .

Now, if the interest is quarterly then according to the formula

compound interest =P(1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4n} -P where r is the rate annually and n is the number of years.

so CI=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^4 -100 ( here the rate is already given in quarterly)

CI= 100(1.06)^4-100= 1.26247696-100=26.247696 rupees=26(approx)

Now, if the compound interest is 1.25 per month then again from the formula-

CI=P(1+\frac{r/12}{100})^{12n}-P

CI= 100(1+\frac{1.25}{100})^{12}-100= 100(1.16075452)-100=16.075452=16(approx)

You're going on a 1211-mile trip, and your car gets about 29 miles per gallon. Gas prices along your route average $3.40. Estima
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,200 / 30

= 40 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:

= 40 * 3

= $120

Without using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,211 / 29

= 41.76 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:

= 41.76 * 3.40

= $‭141.98

<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>

Jane is painting her room. She mixes 3 pints of blue paint with 4 pints of red paint to get her desired color. Which equation ca
Lady bird [3.3K]
Well if she added three blue and four red originally, and is now using 16 red then we would divide 16 by the original four. Which means to get the number of blue we are gonna end up multiplying by four. So three times four is twelve. Which means she would use 12 blue and 16 red to get the same color she got with 3 blue and 4 red earlier. The equation, lets use x for blue and y for red, would be 4(3x + 4y) = desired color
