The campers in cabin A walked 1/4 of the way to otter ridge (13 miles) How many miles did they walk?

1 answer:

3 0

The question demands that we find a fraction of a given quantity.

The 'of ' means multiplication.

So the total distance of the journey was

$13 \: miles$

But they walked ¼ of the whole journey. We are supposed to find

$\frac{1}{4} \: of \: 13 \: miles$
$\\= \frac{1}{4} \times 13 \: miles$

$= \frac{13}{4} \: miles$

$= 3.25\: miles$

Hence they walked 3.25 miles.

love history [14]

Answer:

$\approx$ 17.5% per annum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Money invested = $20,000 at the age of 20 years.

Money expected to be $500,000 at the age of 40.

Time = 40 - 20 = 20 years

Interest is compounded annually.

To find:

Rate of growth = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for compound interest.

$A = P \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^T$

Where A is the amount after T years compounding at a rate of R% per annum. P is the principal amount.

Here, We are given:

P = $20,000

A = $500,000

T = 20 years

R = ?

Putting all the values in the formula:

$500000 = 20000 \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{500000}{20000} =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow 25 =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt[20]{25} =1+\frac{R}{100}\\\Rightarrow 1.175 = 1+0.01R\\\Rightarrow R \approx17.5\%$

So, the correct answer is $\approx$ 17.5% per annum and compounding annually.

The number of bacteria (b) in a batch of refrigerated food is given by the function b(t) = 20t2 − 70t + 300, where t is the temp

Setler79 [48]

If the number of bacteria $b(t)$ is a function only of temperature $t$ , and the temperature $t(h)$ is a function only of time in hours $h$ , then

$b(t(h))=b(2h+3)=20(2h+3)^4-70(2h+3)+300$
$b(t(h))=320h^4+1920h^3+4320h^2+4180h+1710$
