Hope this explains it a little better
Hi! For the area of a parallelogram, we just need to multiply the base and the height. It may sound simple but the tricky part in this problem is determining which one is the height.
For a parallelogram, the height is defined as the measurement PERPENDICULAR to the base. Therefore, for this problem, we need to multiply 14 and 4.5 instead of 14 and 6.
ANSWER: B. 63 square meters.
Let x represent amount invested in the higher-yielding account.
We have been given that a man puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. So amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be
.
We are also told that his annual interest is $6600 dollars. We know that annual interest for one year will be principal amount times interest rate.
, where,
I = Amount of interest,
P = Principal amount,
r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,
t = Time in years.
We are told that interest rates are 6% and 10%.


Amount of interest earned from lower-yielding account:
.
Amount of interest earned from higher-yielding account:
.

Let us solve for x.



Therefore, the man invested $30,000 at 10%.
Amount invested in the lower-yielding account would be
.
Therefore, the man invested $60,000 at 6%.
Given that a company budgeted 5 1/4 hours to complete a project, determine how much time they spent on research if they spent 1/3 of the total budget.
First, convert the budget from hours into minutes.
5 1/4 hours = 315 minutes
1 hour = 60 min
1/4 hour = 15 min
60 x 5 = 300
300 + 15 = 315
Then, divide the minutes by 3 or multiply it by 1/3.
315 / 3 = 105
315 x 1/3 = 105
Lastly convert to a mixed number.
1 3/4 hour
Thus, the company plans to spend 1 3/4 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes on research.
