Answer:
The only difference is that we line up the numbers according to the decimal point. For addition, it doesn't matter which number goes on the bottom.
The number in brackets represents the percentage change
1.045
the 1 shows that it is an increase and the .045 shows the percent
for example 1.55 would be 55% increase and 1.555 would be 55.5% increase
The total length of a line segment is the sum of the lengths of its parts.
MQ = MK + KQ . . . . . . express the relationship between the segments
15 in = 7 in + KQ . . . . . fill in the given information
(15 - 7) in = KQ . . . . . . .subtract 7 in
KQ = 8 in . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The measurement of KQ is 8 inches.
Round fraction as a decimal: 6/13=.462 that's the answer
Since this is a compound interest problem, you have to take note that the amount Catherine will get per year is not the same. It will increase per year since it is compounded. So first, we get the amount after one year. This will be 7000 x 0.04 which is 280 plus 7280. In the second year, she will get 7571 (7280 x 0.04 + 7280). In the third year, she will get 7874 (7571 x 0.04 + 7571). In the fourth year, she will get 8189 (7874 x 0.04 + 7874). And finally in the fifth year, she will get 8517 (8189 x 0.04 +8189). So after five years, she has 8517
