1) 112 m

Answer:

2) 240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of pieces be 5x, 3x and 7x m.

Where 3x is the shortest piece and 7x is the longest piece.

According to the given condition:

7x - 3x = 64

4x = 64

x = 64/4

x = 16 m

1) Length of longest piece = 7x = 7* 16 = 112 m

2) length of the Electrical cord in meters before it was cut = 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x = 15*16 =240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the pieces 5x, 3x, and 7x respectively. The longest (7x) and shortest (3x) pieces had a difference of 64 cm. Therefore, 7x - 3x = 64 → 4x = 64 → x = 16 cm. We know that the longest piece is 7x, so its length is 7 * 16 = 112 cm. As for the total length of the cord, we can express it as 5x + 3x + 7x = 15x, which is 15 * 16 = 240 cm. Hope this helps!

If $4200 is invested in a savings account for which interest is compounded
Monica [59]

Answer:

3.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest to apply is;

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

where;

A=amount at the end

P=starting amount/principal

n=number of compounding years

t=total number of years

r=interest rate expressed as a decimal

Given

P=$4200, n=2, t=4 and A=$4900 R=?

Substitute values in equation, take r=r

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt} \\\\\\4900=4200(1+\frac{r}{2} )^{2*4} \\\\\\4900=4200(1+0.5r)^8

Divide both sides by 4200

\frac{4900}{4200} =\frac{4200}{4200} (1+0.5r)^8\\\\\\1.1667=(1+0.5r)^8

Introduce root 8 to the left hand side, thus eliminating the power 8 in the right hand side

\sqrt[8]{1.1667} =1+0.5r\\\\\\1.0195=1+0.5r\\\\\\1.0195-1=0.5r\\\\\\0.0195=0.5r\\\\\\\frac{0.0195}{0.5} =\frac{0.5r}{0.5} \\\\\\0.039=r

r=3.9%
