Answer:

The correct answer is 14.5 centimeters on the map would be the distance between these two cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Distance between two cities = 87 kilometers

Scale of the map = 1:600,000

2. What is the distance between them on a map with that scale?

For finding out the answer to this question, we need to:

A. Convert 87 kilometers to centimeters, that is the average distance measurement of the maps, this way:

87 kilometers = 87,000 meters (multiplying by 10³)

87,000 meters = 8'700,000 centimeters (multiplying by 10²)

B. Now we divide the measurement in centimeters by the scale, this way:

8'700,000/600,000 = 14.5

The correct answer is 14.5 centimeters on the map would be the distance between these two cities.

a person invest in 9000 in a bank. the bank pays 5% interest compounded semi annually. to the nearest tenth of a year, how long

QveST [7]

Answer:

10.1 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Principal = 9000

Rate of interest = 5%

No. of times interest compounded = 2 times in an year

Amount after certain time = 14800

The formula for amount:

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

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest, n is no. of times interest compounded in an year and t is time in years.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

$14800=9000(1+\frac{0.05}{2})^{2t}$

$\frac{14800}{9000}=(1+0.025)^{2t}$

$1.644=(1.025)^{2t}$

Taking log both sides.

$\log(1.644)=\log(1.025)^{2t}$

$\log(1.644)=2t\log(1.025)$ $[\because \log a^b=b\log a]$

$\frac{\log(1.644)}{2\log(1.025)}=t$

$t=10.066$

$t=10.1$

Therefore, the required time is 10.1 years.
