Answer: 6 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of the board = \dfrac{3}{4}\text{ foot}

The length of the pieces =\dfrac{1}{8}\text{ foot}

Now, to find the number of pieces we need to divide the total length of board by the length of a piece ,

Then the number of pieces James cut from the board is given by:-

n=\dfrac{3}{4}\div\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ n=\dfrac{3}{4}\times\dfrac{8}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ n= 6

Hence, James can cut 6 pieces.

Answer: 6

There are 2/8 per every 1/4. This means that a 3/4 foot long board is equivalent to a 6/8 foot long board, and can therefor be cut into 6 1/8 foot segments.

Northern Bank has two types of account. Both accounts pay compound interest. Cash savings account Interest 2.5% per annum Shares
musickatia [10]

Answer: Ben will have the most interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali after 3 years.

To use compound interest, the formula is:

= Investment * ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of periods

= 2,000 * ( 1 + 2.5%)³

= £‭2,153.78

Interest = Amount after 3 years - investment

= 2,153.78 - 2,000

= £153.78

Ben after 3 years.

= 1,600 * (1 + 3.5%)³

= £1,773.95

Interest = 1,773.93 - 1,600

= £173.93

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $31.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The price of a pair of pants is $29.95.

The sales tax is 5% = 0.05

Required formula :

Total cost = Price + sales tax percent × Price

Total cost= Price (1+Sales tax percent)

i.e. Total cost of the pair of pants= 29.95 (1+0.05) =29.95(1.05)=31.4475 ≈ 31.45

Hence, the total cost of the pair of pants = $31.45
