Answer:

The annual rate of inflation r is $0.013

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual rate of inflation r = (p2p1)1/n-1 = p2p1/n-1

p2 = $5.83, p1 = $0.22, n = 2013 - 1913 = 100

r = $5.83 × $0.22/100 - 1 = $1.2826/99 = $0.013 (to the nearest thousandth)

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 114 what's the smallest of these numbers​
laila [671]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even numbers are 2,4, 6...

Let the smallest of the 3 numbers be x.

2nd number= x+2

3rd number

=x+2+2

= x+4

sum of the 3 numbers= x +x+2 +x+4

114= 3x+6

3x= 114 -6 (-3 on both sides)

3x= 108 (simplify)

x= 108 ÷3

x= 36

Thus, the smallest number is 36.

Let's check!

36+38+40= 114 ✓

I need help with math homework​
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1) 2.6 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first one, multiply height times width times depth divided by two, since it is a triangle. Area of a triangle is always height times width divided by two.

So

(1.3 × 1 × 4)/2 = 2.6 ft³

The second one you can see as 6 of those triangle bars glued together, can you calculate the volume then?
