He isn't. 1/4, when converted to decimal, is 0.25. So what he is saying is 0.25 percent and not 25 percent.

What is the reciprocal of 9/10 as a mixed numeral?
Alika [10]
Reciprocals are technically flipped fractions. So it would be 10/9. 9 goes into ten one time, so it's 1 1/9.

In his first year, a math teacher earned $32,000. Each successive year, he
Ivan

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each successive year, he

earned a 5% raise. It means that the salary is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(amount earned in the first year).

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms(years).

From the information given,

a = $32,000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 20 years

The amount earned in his 20th year, T20 is

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(20 - 1)

T20 = 32000 × 1.05^(19)

T20 = $80862.4

To determine the his total

earnings over the 20-year period, we would apply the formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence which is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms, S20 is

S20 = (32000 × 1.05^(20) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S20 = (32000 × 1.653)/0.05

S20 = $1057920

It took a race car driver 3 hours and 15 minutes to go 500 miles. What was his mean rate of speed, to the nearest tenth of a mil
WINSTONCH [101]
In order to calculate rate or average speed you divide miles by time

I got 153.8 by dividing 500 by 3.25 (the .25 is because 15 minutes is 1/4 of 60) hope this helped!!

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance to the nearest tenth, between F(9, 5) and G(-2, 2). (Hint: Place F and G on the
artcher [175]
Put a point H on (9, 2).  Sketch a triangle out of the three points.  Distance between (-2, 2) and (9, 2) is going to be 11.  Distance between (9, 2) and (9, 5) is going to be 3.    These correspond to the a and b of the Pythagorean Theorem
c^2=a^2+b^2
c=√11^2+3^2=√130
