Well the answer to that is 20.67.
Also, you can simply find this out by placing the decimal as you solve the problem, meaning as when you solve like this
3.9
x5.3
--------
.
Drag the decimal down.

If you round 3.9 to 4 and 5.3 to 5 you can easily multiply those numbers together and get 15.

Answer:

First one is 41

Second one is 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the shaded part as a trapezoid which is (3+6)*10/2 you just have to get rid of 2*2. So you get 41 as the answer.

The unshaded part will be 16*8 then subtracts the shaded part which is 41. Then you get the answer 87.

What is the simple interest for a principal of $650 invested at a rate of 9% for 5 years?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 292.50 dollars

Work Shown:

P = 650 is the the principal.

r = 0.09 is the interest rate in decimal form.

t = 5 is the number of years.

i = P*r*t

i = 650*0.09*5

i = 292.50 is the simple interest.

What is the answer and how do you solve 21x^3/3x^−1

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

as written: 7x^2

perhaps intended: 7x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...

$\dfrac{21x^3}{3}x^{-1}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-1}=7x^2$

___

Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...

21x^3/(3x^-1)

then the simplification is ...

$\dfrac{21x^3}{3x^{-1}}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-(-1)}=7x^4$

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)

Julio bought a total of 20 medium and large pumpkins. If he spent $53 and bought 6 more large pumpkins as medium pumpkins, how m

Tatiana [17]

20 medium and large pumpkins

m ... number of medium pumpkins
l ... number of large pumpkins

20 = m + l
20 = m + (m + 6)
20 = 2 * m + 6
2 * m = 20 - 6
2 * m = 14
m = 7 medium pumpkins

l = 20 - 7 = 13 large pumpkins

Result: Julio bought 13 large pumpkins.

Several friends bought flowers to make table centerpieces. write the ratios of purple flowers to white flowers for each friend.

Zina [86]

The ratio for Rowan = 4:1.

The ratio for Marcia = 10:1.

The ratio for Jillian = 5:1.

The ratio for Lulua = 6:1.

The smallest ratio among these for purple to white flowers is for Rowan, that is, 4:1.

Ratios are fractions in the simplest form representing the relationship between two quantities.

The ratio of purple to white flowers for each friend can be shown as:-

Rowan:

The number of purple flowers = 8

The number of white flowers = 2

Thus, the fraction of purple to white flowers = 8/2 = 4/1.

Thus, the ratio for Rowan = 4:1.

Marcia:

The number of purple flowers = 10

The number of white flowers = 1

Thus, the fraction of purple to white flowers = 10/1.

Thus, the ratio for Marcia = 10:1.

Jillian:

The number of purple flowers = 10

The number of white flowers = 2

Thus, the fraction of purple to white flowers = 10/2 = 5/1.

Thus, the ratio for Jillian = 5:1.

Lulua:

The number of purple flowers = 18

The number of white flowers = 3

Thus, the fraction of purple to white flowers = 18/3 = 6/1.

Thus, the ratio for Lulua = 6:1.

The smallest ratio among these for purple to white flowers is for Rowan, that is, 4:1.
