Jay caught 18 fish and Blair caught 9.
Here's why.

Jay caught 2 times as many as blair. So let's say the fish caught by blair is represented by the variable, x. The number of fish caught by Jay would then be 2x.
So, 27 is the number of fish they both caught together.  So then...
27=x+2x
This equation can be simplified to be 27=3x.
So, we'll need to find the value of x first. Divide each side by 3 to get the x by itself. 27/3 is 9. 3x/3 is x. So 9=x.
We now have the number of fish Blair caught, so to get the number jay caught, we double this number.  9 times 2 is 18, so Jay caught 18 fish and Blair caught 9.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 3  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt where d is the distance t is the time and r is the constant of proportionality

d = 18t

Changing 10 minutes to hours

10 minutes * 1 hours / 60 minute = 1/6 hour

d = 18 * 1/6 hour

John is 48 years old. He is planning on retireing when he is 65. He has opened an IRA with an APR of 3.5% compounded daily. If h
alex41 [277]

The amount of money that John would have in his account when he is ready to retire is $6,351,400.21.

<h3>How much would be in the retirement account?</h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the future value of the annuity is

Future value = Daily deposit x annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

Where:

  • r = 3.5 / 365 = 0.0096%
  • n = (65 - 48) x 365 = 6205

Annuity factor = [(1.000096^6205) - 1] / 0.000096 = $8468.53

Future value = 750 x $8468.53 = $6,351,400.21
