The floor of a room is being covered with tile. An area one half

tangare [24]

Answer:

Only the floor area $\frac{3}{8}$ has been covered

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the floor of the room is rectangular, then its area is equal to the product of its length times its width.

$A = lw$

Let's now call A 'the area that was covered with tiles.

We know that half the length was covered, then:

$l' = \frac{1}{2}l$

$w' = \frac{3}{4}w$

So:

$A' = \frac{1}{2}l(\frac{3}{4}w)$

$A' = \frac{3}{8}lw$

Finally:

$A' = \frac{3}{8}A$

Gina puts $ 4500 into an account earning 7.5% interest compounded continuously. How long will it take for the amount in the acco

Elza [17]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$5150\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$4500\\ r=rate\to 7.5\%\to \frac{7.5}{100}\dotfill &0.075\\ t=years \end{cases}$

$5150=4500e^{0.075\cdot t} \implies \cfrac{5150}{4500}=e^{0.075t}\implies \cfrac{103}{90}=e^{0.075t} \\\\\\ \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=\log_e(e^{0.075t})\implies \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t \\\\\\ \ln\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t\implies \cfrac{\ln\left( \frac{103}{90} \right)}{0.075}=t\implies\stackrel{\textit{about 1 year and 291 days}}{ 1.8\approx t}$
