Answer:

16 1/4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming interest is compounded annually, the account balance (A) after t years will be ...

A = P(1 +r)^t

3200 = 1700·1.0397^t

log(3200) = log(1700) +t·log(1.0397)

t = (log(3200) -log(1700))/log(1.0397) ≈ 16.247

The account will reach a balance of $3200 after about 16 1/4 years.

Joe worked 12 hours and packed 32 cartons. Bob worked 25 hours and packed 64 cartons. Did Joe and Bobwork at the same rate?O YES

Bas_tet [7]

To be able to compare the rates, we will write them in fraction form.

The fraction that represents Joe's rate is:

$\frac{32}{12},$

and the fraction that represents Bob's rate is:

$\frac{64}{25}\text{.}$

Simplifying the above fractions, we get:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}, \\ \frac{64}{25}=\frac{64}{25}\text{.} \end{gathered}$

Since:

$\frac{8}{3}\ne\frac{64}{25}$

then Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.

Answer:

No, Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.

Find the measure of angle FED and DEN. Thx!!!! :)

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

m<FED=60, m<DEN=120

Step-by-step explanation:

m<FED=60

This is because <GEN and <FED are vertical angles.

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Vertical angles are formed by a pair of intersecting lines, and are the angles directly across from one another.

m<DEN=120

This is because <DEN and <GEN are supplementary.

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

We know this because a straight line is always 180 degrees.

So:

m<DEN+m<GEN=180

m<DEN+60=180

m<DEN=120
