Answer:

Investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

George investment principal = $20,000

The Rate of interest  (R1)   = 18 \frac{2}{3} % = \frac{56}{3} %

I.e   R1 = 18.67 %

Again The The Rate of interest  (R2)  = 0.1872  = 18.72 %

Let the time period for both rate of interest = 1 years

Now from compound interest method

Amount = Principal × (1 + \frac{Rate}{100})^{Time}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.67}{100})^{1}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1867

∴       A 1 = $ 23,734

And   A 2 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.72}{100})^{1}

Or,     A 2 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1872

∴        A 2 = $ 23,744

Hence From the calculation of both amount it is clear that , investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better . Answer

il63 [147K]

Answer:

\frac{35}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to write the mixed fraction as a fractional number, as follows:

3 1/3 = 3 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9+1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}

5 1/4 = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20+1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}

Then, evaluating the expression:

\frac{10}{3}×\frac{21}{4} = \frac{210}{12} =  \frac{35}{2}

X(5)+2=244<br>help pls<br>(^_^)​
arsen [322]

Simplify both sides of the equation

  • 5x+2=244

Subtract 2 from both sides

  • 5x+2−2=244−2
  • 5x=242

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{242}{5}

  • Answer

\: x =  \dfrac{242}{5}

OR

\: x =  48.4

In other words 2 sides are conurent with an angle betwene them.

You would need to rotait the shape 90 degrese.
