Answer:

By the end of the first year Dara will have $903.125 in his account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this a compounded interest formula, it means that the amount invested grows exponentially overtime. In order to calculate the total of money over a period of time we must use the following formula:

M(t) = M(0)*(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

Where M(t) is the amount of money in "t" years, M(0) is the amount invested, r is the anual interest rate, n is the compound period over a year and t is the time elapsed in years.

In this problem the amount is compounded half-yearly, this means that for every year that passes the money is compounded twice, therefore n is equal to 2. Applying the data from the problem to the formula, we have:

M(1) = 800*(1 + 0.125/2)^(2*1)

M(1) = 800*(1.0625)^(2)

M(1) = 800*(1.0625)^(2) =903.125

By the end of the first year Dara will have $903.125 in his account.

Noelle has containers that each hold one gallon of liquid. She used these containers to dispose of waste from the chemistry labo

Andrej [43]

Answer:

4 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Noelle collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

She also collected 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table.

Finally, she collected collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the fourth table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

So, the total amount of liquid she collected in quarts is V = 3.5 quarts + 4 quarts + 2 quarts + 3.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts + 5.5 quarts = 13 quarts

We now convert this value to gallons to know the amount of containers Noelle needs since she has one gallon containers.

13 quarts = 13 × 1 quarts = 13 quarts × 1 gallon/4 quarts = 13/4 gallons = 3.25 gallons

Since the total amount of liquid is 3.25 gallons = 3 gallons + 0.25 gallons, Noelle would need 4 containers since 3 containers would contain the first 3 gallons and the fourth container would contain the remaining 0.25 gallons.

So, Alyssa would need 4 containers.
