Find the simple interest on $900 for 18 months at a rate of 9.5% per year

1 answer:

6 0

To get the simple interest, we must use the formula: I= (p)(r )( t)
So, in this one we need to multiply $900x18x9.% and the answer will be $128.25. This is the amount of interest they are going to pay per year.

The ratio of the number of apples to the number of pears in a basket was 3:5. After 7more apples were added to the basket and 9

atroni [7]

Answer:

Apples = 24

Pears = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u be the unit of fruit in the basket,

number of apples: $3u +7$

number of pears: $5u -9$

now to find u, we equate the two equations.

$3u+7=5u-9$

Now simplify.

$5u-3u=7+9$

$2u=16$

$u=8$

Now we can find the original number of apples and pears by substituting u.

so original number of apples = $3u = 3(8) = 24$

and original number of pears = $5u = 5(8) = 40$

What are the explicit equation and domain for an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 5 and a second term of 2? (5 points)

tiny-mole [99]

The third choice is appropriate.
an = 5 - 3(n - 1); all integers n ≥ 1

_____
This equation follows the form for the general term of an arithmetic sequence.
an = a1 + d(n - 1)
where a1 is the first term (corresponding to n=1), and d is the common difference. From the problem statement, a1 = 5 and d = 2 - 5 = -3.

If two measurements have the same number of decimal

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is possible. For example, 0.2 and 0.2 both have one decimal place and one significant digit. Their product, 0.04, has one significant digit, but has 2 decimal places.

It is estimated that light takes 110,000 years to travel the full distance across our galaxy

stepladder [879]

$\bf \stackrel{light~speed}{3.0\times 10^8}ms^{-1}\implies \stackrel{light~speed}{3.0\times 10^8}~\frac{m}{s}\implies 300,000,000~\frac{m}{s}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{how many seconds in a minute?}\qquad 60
\\\\\\
\textit{how many seconds in }\stackrel{1~hr}{60~minutes?}\qquad 60\cdot 60
\\\\\\
\textit{how many seconds in }\stackrel{1~day}{24~hrs}?\qquad 60\cdot 60\cdot 24
\\\\\\
\textit{how many seconds in }\stackrel{1~year}{365~days}?\qquad 60\cdot 60\cdot 24\cdot 365$

now, it takes 1 second for light to travel 300,000,000 meters.

if we know it takes light 1 second to go 300 million meters, then in 365 days or a year, or 60*60*24*365 seconds, it will then travels

300,000,000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 meters in 1 year,

how about in 110,000 years, how many meters has it travelled?

300,000,000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 110,000 that many meters.

we know she travels the Milky Way in 110,000 years or 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 110,000 seconds

and we know that 110,000 years is 3468960000000 seconds, so

if it travels 300000000 meters in only 1 second, in 3468960000000 seconds, it will travel then (300000000) * (3468960000000) meters

or 1040688000000000000000 meters.
