2.125 = 17/8 = 21/8 as a fraction


Step by Step Solution

To convert the decimal 2.125 to a fraction follow these steps:


Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:


2.125 = 2.125/1


Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:


As we have 3 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000. So,


2.125/1 = (2.125 x 1000)/(1 x 1000) = 2125/1000.


Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(2125,1000) = 125. So,


(2125÷125)/(1000÷125) = 17/8 when reduced to the simplest form.


As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 2125/1000 is also equal to 2 1/8 when expressed as a mixed number.

xenn [34]

Answer:

d. $10,234.80

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The equipment will cost $26,000

so, Amount is $26000

A=26000

should be invested today at 12%

r=12%=0.12

It is compounded semiannually

so, n=2

t=8

now, we can use formula

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

now, we can plug values

26000=P(1+\frac{0.12}{2})^{2\times 8}

now, we can solve for P

P=10234.80338
