Answer:

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P divides segment MN into 4/7, let MN to be x units in length then

MP = 4/7 x =4x/7 --------(i)

But MN =MP+PN so;

x=4x/7 +PN

x- 4X/7 =PN

3x/7 =PN ----------(ii)

To get the ratio of MP:PN

MP: PN

4x/7:3x/7

MP/PN = 4x/7 / 3x/7

MP/PN =4/3

MP:PN = 4:3

Answer: 4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A point P is 4/7 of the distance from M to N.

∴ Let the distance between M to N be d.

\Rightarrow\ MP=\dfrac{4}{7}\times d=\dfrac{4d}{7}

Also,  the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N .

Thus , MN = MP+PN

\Rightarrow\ d=\dfrac{4d}{7}+PN\\\\\Rightarrow\ PN= d-\dfrac{4d}{7}=\dfrac{7d-4d}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ PN=\dfrac{3}{7}d

Now, the ration of MP to PN will be :-

\dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{\dfrac{4d}{7}}{\dfrac{3d}{7}}=\dfrac{4}{3}

∴ Point P partitioned the line segment MN into 4:3.

$400 interest is earned on a principal of $2,000 at a simple interest rate of 5% interest per year. For how many years was the p
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest= $400

Principal= $2000

Rate= 5%

The simple interest formula is given as

SI=PRT/100

substitute and solve for T

400=2000*5*T/100

cross multiply

400*100= 10000*T

40000=10000T

T= 40000/10000

T= 4 years

Hence the time taken is 4 years

                                            Bottom:

                                            etc.

Second: Find the area of each side

Third: add them together

P.S. since this was a perfect cube, you could've also just found the area of 1 side then multiplied by 6:)
