Answer:

  12.3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of months (m) such that ...

   1 - 17% = (1 -1.5%)^m

Taking logarithms:

  log(0.83) = m·log(0.985)

  m = log(0.83)/log(0.985) ≈ 12.3 . . . . months

(PLEASE ANSWER ASAP) Which number is between 1/6 and 0.25?
serg [7]

If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.

You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
