Answer:

  7 years 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value formula for the value of a principal P invested at annual rate r compounded n times yearly for t years is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

For the given numbers, we want to find t:

  6000 = 3700(1 +.062/2)^(2t)

Dividing by 3700 and taking the logarithm, we get ...

  6000/3700 = 1.031^(2t)

  log(60/37) = 2t·log(1.031)

Dividing by the coefficient of t gives ...

  t = log(60/37)/(2log(1.031)) ≈ 7.92 . . . . . years

It will take about 7 years 11 months for the investment to grow to $6000.

This question is not correctly written.

Complete Question

Select all equations that can represent the question: "How many groups of 4/5 are in 1?" A ?⋅1=4/5? Times 1 is equal to 4 fifths B 1⋅4/5=?1 times 4 fifths is equal to ? C 4/5÷1=?4 fifths divided by 1 is equal to ? D ?⋅4/5=1? Times 4 fifths is equal to 1 E 1÷4/5=?1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to ?

Answer:

D ?⋅4/5=1 = ? Times 4 fifths is equal to

E 1÷4/5=? = 1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

How many groups of 4/5 are in 1?

The operation used to solve this is that Division operation.

Hence, we solve it by saying:

1 ÷ 4/5 = ?

= 1× 5/4 = ?

5/4 = ?

Cross Multiply

5 = 4 × ?

? = 5/4

The equations that can represent the question: is

Option D ?⋅4/5=1 = ? Times 4 fifths is equal to

Option E 1÷4/5=? = 1 divided by 4 fifths is equal to

gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of sale: .70 gallons of 5% and .30 gallons of 22% salt. what is the conce
wolverine [178]

Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)
