Answer:

The simple interest rate is 5%.

This is possible with a rate of 6%, since in this case, his amount earned will be $5,208.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

Joshua has $4,200 to invest for college. If Joshua invests $4,200 for 3 years and earns $630, what is the simple interest rate?

We have that P = 4200, E = 630, t = 3. We have to find I.

E = P*I*t

630 = 4200*I*3

I = \frac{630}{4200*3}

I = 0.05

The simple interest rate is 5%.

Joshua’s goal is to have $5,000 after 4 years. Is this possible if he invests with a rate of  return of 6%?

We have to find T when P = 4200, t = 4, I = 0.06

So

E = P*I*t

E = 4200*0.06*4

E = 1008

T = E + P = 4200 + 1008 = 5208

This is possible with a rate of 6%, since in this case, his amount earned will be $5,208.

Gala2k [10]
If she has 10/12 and uses 8/12 then you just subtract.
Since the denominators are the same you just subtract 10-8 and get 2
the denominator is the same for your answers and so it is 
2/12

Nachelle is 1.45 meters tall. At 11 a.m., she measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 23.05 meters. She stands 18.9 meters
GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

this creates 2 similar triangles.

that means all angles are the same. and all the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle by the same multiplication factor.

her shadow is 23.05 - 18.9 = 4.15 m long.

the factor between the shadow lengths is then

4.15 × f = 23.05

f = 23.05 / 4.15 = 5.554216867...

the same factor now applies to the relation of the heights :

1.45 × 5.554216867... = 8.053614458... m

rounded the tree is 8.05 m tall.
