Answer:
5 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set chickens and pigs with variables "c" and "p" respectively.
We know there a 16 animals in all, so there are:
c+p=16
We know there are 54 legs and chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs each:
2c+4p=54
Now we have our system of equations:
c+p=16
2c+4p=54
We are trying to find the number of chickens, so we write the first equation in respect to c.
p=16-c
Substituting the first derived equation to equation two:
2c+64-4c=54
Simplifying:
64-2c=54
2c=10
c=5
So there are 5 chickens.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to determine the future value of the annuity to determine which account has a greater value
Future value = Amount x annuity factor
annuity factor = Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
Account A = 300 x[ (1.042)^15 - 1 ] / 0.042 = $6097.14
Account B = 250 x[ (1.051)^15 - 1 ] / 0.051 = $5435,42
Account A will be greater
Divide to get a low form of a fraction.
13 divide by 13 = 1
78/13 = 6
1/6 would therefore, be the lowest form
