William has $240 to Michael's $420
this can be written in a ratio as 240 : 420
which can then be reduced to

24:42
12:21
4:7

When you see ratio, think fraction. So, we want :

William's money / Michael's money

They tell us that William has $280 and Michael has $420. Thus,

280 / 420

Now we need to simplify. both 280 and 420 share a factor of 140. Thus,

280/420 = (140 * 2) / (140 * 3) = 140/140 * 2/3 = 1 * 2/3 = 2/3

How much more would $1,000 earn in 5 years in an account compounded continuously than an account compounded quarterly if the int

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: There is a difference of $ 1.0228.

Explanation: Given, initial amount or principal = $ 1000,

Time= 5 years and given compound rate of interest = $3.7%

Now, Since the amount in compound continuously,

$A= Pe^{rt}$ , where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Here, P=$ 1000, t=5 years and r= $3.7%,

Thus, amount in compound continuously , $A=1000e^{3.7\times5/100}$

⇒ $A=1000e^{18.5}=1000\times 1.20321844013=1203.21844013$

Therefore, interest in this compound continuously rate =1203.21844013-1000=203.21844013

now, Since the amount in compound quarterly,

$A=P(1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4t}$ , where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Thus, amount in compound quarterly, $A=1000(1+\frac{3.7/4}{100} )^{4\times5}$

⇒ $A=1000(1+\frac{3.7}{400} )^{20}$

⇒ $A=1000(1+\frac{3.7}{400} )^{20}$

⇒ $A= 1202.19567617$

Therefore, interest in this compound quarterly rate=1202.19567617-1000=202.19567617

So, the difference in these interests=203.21844013-202.19567617=1.02276396 ≈1.0228

The diameter of a circle is 3.2 meters. Which is the circumference of the circle rounded to the nearest hundredth of a meter?

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

10.05 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diameter is 3.2 meters, then the radius is 1.6 meters.

Use the circumference formula, C = 2 $\pi$ r, and solve for C

C = 2 $\pi$ r

C = 2 $\pi$ (1.6)

C = 3.2 $\pi$

C = 10.05

So, to the nearest hundredth of a meter, the circumference is 10.05 meters
