There would have been 3.25 or 3 1/4 pounds of candy eaten.
you would do 5 1/2 - 2 1/4 and get 3 1/4 .

1 1/4  lbs of the candy was eaten. 5 1/2 becomes the improper fraction 11/2 and 2 1/4 becomes the improper fraction 9/4. After subtraction, you get 13/4, or 1 1/4.

The ordered pair below is a solution to which equation? (40, 5)
SIZIF [17.4K]
All we have to do here is to express numbers 40 and 5 in each of equations. Note that first number in brackets is always x coordinate and second number is y coordinate

First equation:
5 = 40*8  false

Second
5 = 5*40 false again

Third:
5 = 40/8 = 5 True

checking for just in case last one:
5 = 40/5 = 8 False

Correct one is C)

Multiply This Expression: -10 ( -a + 5 )
Dovator [93]
You would use distribution. So, in this case, it would be 10a - 50. You use -10 to multiply -a and 5, and you get 10a, and -50.

How much more interest will Maria receive if she invests $1,000 for one year at x percent annual interest, compounded semiannual
notka56 [123]

Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.
