Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.

A car approaches a stop sign going 10 m/s before coming to a stop. If it takes 5 seconds to
Levart [38]

Answer:

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Initial velocity u = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity v = 0
  • Time taken t = 5 seconds

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

Using the formula to determine the acceleration

a = (v - u) / t

substituting u = 10 m/s, v = 0 and t = 5

a = (0 - 10) / 5

a = -10 / 5

a = -2 m/s²

Thus,

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

The new balance of a charge account is $145.00. The minimum payment is $20.00. If the interest rate is 1.5%, how much will the n
juin [17]
The balance is $145 but after one makes he minimum payment of $20, there is $125 left to pay. However interest is added before the next month’s bill is generated.

Remember that percent means out of 100. 1.5% means 1.5/100 = .015

To find 1.5% of 125 we multiply (.015)(125) = 1.875 But as this is money the interest is rounded to two decimal places and so is $1.88

We add this to 125 to get next month’s balance which is 125 + 1.88 = $126.88
