At camp in Green Bay, Wisconsin, 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin. Of that group 3/5 were 12 years old. What fraction

In-s [12.5K]

Since the problem stated that 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin, so 2/9 of it were not from Wisconsin. Now out of 7/9 participants, 3/5 of them were 12 years old, so 2/5 of them are not 12 years old. Since we now know the fractions, we'll get the equation 7/9 x 3/5 multiply 7 and 3 then divide it to the product of 9 and 5 to have the answer of 7/15. 7/15 of the participants of the camp in Green Bay is from Wisconsin and are 12 years old.

Which is greater 35.0500 or 35.05?

sleet_krkn [62]

None. The both have the same value. the fact that 2 zeroes was added to the end of 35.0500 doesn't make it bigger or smaller than 35.05

24. Anton borrowed $460 for a new bicycle. He made 9 monthly payments to repay the loan. He paid $60 interest. What is his simpl

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

17.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the interest amount, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time, in year.

In this question:

He borrowed $460, so $P = 460$

Paid $60 interest, so $E = 60$

9 months. So $t = \frac{9}{12} = 0.75$

We have to find I.

$E = P*I*t$

$60 = 460*I*0.75$

$I = \frac{60}{460*0.75}$

$I = 0.174$

So the correct answer is:

17.4%
