50 feet - 8 5/6 =

First off, 8 5/6 feet = 8.83

Next, we can subtract. 50 - 8.83 = 41.17

Answer: 41.17

50 = 49 6/6

49 6/6 - 8 5/6= 41 1/6

41 1/6= 40 7/6

40 7/6 - 8 5/6= 32 2/6

The answer is 32 2/6 or 32 1/3.

Most people are getting it wrong because the are not subtracting 8 5/6 twice. The question said she took TWO 8 5/6 lengths of tape.

A leading bank is coming up with an investment that pays 8 percent interest compounded semiannually. What is the investment's ef

uranmaximum [27]

The effective rate is calculated in the following way:
$r = {(1 + \frac{i}{n} )}^{n} - 1$
where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
$r = {(1 + \frac{8\%}{2}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = {(1 + \frac{1}{25}) }^{2} - 1 \\ r = \frac{676}{625} - 1 \\ r = 0.0816 \: or \: 8.16\%$
