Answer:
3 runners
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of runners needed is the length of the race divided by the length each runner can run:
(1/3 mi)/(1/9 mi/runner) = 9/3 runner = 3 runners
_____
There are a couple of ways you can divide fractions:
→ "invert and multiply." That is, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Here, that is (1/3)(9/1) = 9/3 = 3
→ make the denominators the same and use the ratio of the numerators. Here that is (1/3)/(1/9) = (3/9)/(1/9) = 3/1 = 3
→ use a calculator (see attached)
The formula to find the amount is
Here A = amount
P is the principal
r is the rate
n is the number of years
Then to find the interest we subtract principal from amount.
Interest = A - P
Here
P= 2200, r = 3% = 0.03 , n = 6 years
Hence the interest earned = 2626.92-2200 = $426.92
Now if the total of $2200 was deposited in three banks then each account earns
Each account earns $142.31
