<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • a) 2/3·m
  • b) 4/5·m
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Consider the case where each part is of length 1. Then the midpoint of the first segment is at 1/2.

a) If there are 3 segments, the midpoint of the last segment is halfway between 2 and 3, at 2 1/2. The distance from the first midpoint to the last midpoint is ...

... 2 1/2 - 1/2 = 2 . . . . . that is, 2/3 of the total line length

When the line length is m, that is 2/3·m

_____

b) If there are 5 segments, the midpoint of the last segment is halfway between 4 and 5, at 4 1/2. The distance from the first midpoint to the last midpoint is ...

... 4 1/2 - 1/2 = 4 . . . . . that is, 4/5 of the total line length

When the line length is m, that is 4/5·m

Comparing Leaking Pool Problem
Blababa [14]

Answer:

<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rates of change</u>

The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.

We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.

To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:

15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours

20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Now compute both rates of change:

Pool 1:

\displaystyle ROC_1=\frac{2/3}{1/4}=\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.67\ gal/h

Pool 2:

\displaystyle ROC_2=\frac{3/4}{1/3}=\frac{9}{4}= 2.25\ gal/h

Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.

The large rectangle below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area? (URGENT)
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole rectangle is split into 5 parts. Two out of 5 parts are shaded.

Set up a fraction:

\frac{\text{Shaded}}{\text{Whole}}=\frac{2}{5}

Convert into a decimal:

\frac{2}{5}= 0.4

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:

0.4*100=40

So, forty percent of the rectangle is shaded.

Hope this helps.

Suzanne is looking at taking out a personal loan. Opportunity Loans is offering her $1600 at 3.45% for 1 year, with interest com
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the general formula for compound interest is A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} where r is the interest rate, t is the time in years, and n is the amount of compounds per year. So plugging in the values for both equations you'll get

Opportunity Loans:

 A = 1600(1+\frac{0.0345}{12})^{(12)(1)}

 A = 1600(1.002875)^{12}

 A \approx 1600(1.035)

 A = \$1,656.08

  Now to find the interest accrued on this loan you simply subtract 1600 from the A or final amount

 Interest=1656.08-1600\\Interest=56.08

General Loans:

 A = 1600(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{(4)(1)}

 A = 1600(1.0105)^4

 A \approx 1600(1.042)

 A = 1,668.27

 To find the interest we do the same thing we did in the previous problem

 interest = 1668.27-1600\\interest=68.27

Opportunity loans has the least amount of interest after a year
