Answer:

Marsha earned interest = $850

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount deposited = $8500

Time = 2 years

Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

We need to find how much did Marsha earn in interest

The formula use is: $I=P\times r \times t$

Where I is interest earned, P is amount deposited, r is interest rate and t is time.

Putting values and finding interest.

$I=P\times r \times t\\I=8500\times 2\times 0.05\\I=850$

So, Marsha earned interest = $850

3 3/5 + 9 3/5 answer with a mixed number in simplest form

Romashka [77]

Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:

$3 \frac{3}{5} + 9 \frac{3}{5}$

Add the whole numbers:

$3 + 9 = 12$

Now add the fractions:

$\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

add both together:

$12 + \frac{6}{5} = 12 \frac{6}{5}$

$\frac{6}{5}$ is an improper fraction so change it:

$12 \frac{6}{5} = 13 \frac{1}{5}$

Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with $13 \frac{1}{5}$

Your answer is $13 \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 5y - 1 + 4y + 2 + 5y - 1 + 4y + 2

= 18y + 2

18y + 2 = 128

18y = 128 - 2

= 126

y = 126 ÷ 18

y = 7

Length of AD = 4y + 2

= 4(7) + 2

= 28 + 2

= 30
