first find a common denominator

the common denominator is 8

since the denominator of the fraction 7/8 is already 8, it stays the same

now for the second fraction, since the denominator is 4 and you multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, multiply the numerator of the fraction1/4 by 2 as well

now your two fractions are 7/8-2/8

since the denominators are the same you just have to subtract the numerators

7-2=5

the answer is 5/8

Hoped this helped :)

what is the final amount of 17.50 that is put into a saving account with 4 annual interest rate compounded yearly for 25 years?

pickupchik [31]

To find the total amount, you will use the formula for finding compounded interest. This means you will be paid interest on top of the interest you have earned each year.

A = P(1 + r)^nt
P stands for the principal.
r is the interest rate when compounded annually
nt is the number of years

A = 17.50(1 + 0.04)^25
A = $46.65

This person would have $46.65 after 25 years.

Find the area of an equilateral triangle that has perimeter of 24 m.

mafiozo [28]

we know the perimeter is 24, and is an equilateral triangle, so it has three equal sides, so each side is 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

$\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~ \begin{cases} s=side's\\ \qquad length\\ \cline{1-1} s = 8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\\\ A=16\sqrt{3}\implies A\approx 24.71$
