Answer:21 marbles would be added to raise the water 2 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When 12 marbles are added to a rectangular aquarium, the water in the aquarium rises 1 1/2 inches. Converting 1 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 inches

Let x represent the number of marbles that would be added to the aquarium to raise the water 2 3/4 inches. Converting 2 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. Therefore

12 marbles = 3/2 inches rise

x marbles = 11/4 inches rise

Cross multiplying,

12 × 11/4 = 3/2 × x

33 = 3x/2

3x = 33 × 2 = 66

x = 66/3 = 21

How much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to have $41,000 after 17 years?
Llana [10]
For this, we have to calculate how much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to achieve $41,000 after 17 years

Formula: A= P * ( 1+r)^t
A= $41,000
r=0.023
t= 17
<span>41,000= P * (1+0.023)^17
</span>41,000= P * (1.023)^17
41,000= P * 1.4719
P= 41,000 : 1.4719
P= $27,731.59
Therefore, the answer is C. $27,731.59 
I checked by doing the opposite, and I got $41,000.01, which is the closest to the question<span>
