Answer:

(A) 8.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the principal amount = $ 3100

Rate of compound interest = 8% compounded semiannually.

The given formula is

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

Where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of compound interest, t is the time and n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded.

From the given condition,

P=$3100

r= 8%=0.08 compounded semiannually

n=2

A=2 x 3100=$ 6200.

Put all these in the given formula to get the required time, we have

6200=3100\left(1+\frac{0.08}{2}\right)^{2t}

\Rightarrow \left(1+0.04\right)^{2t}=6200/3100

\Rightarrow 1.04^{2t}=2\\\\\Rightarrow 2t\log_{10}(1.04)=\log_{10}(2)\\ \\\Rightarrow 2t =\frac{\log_{10}(2)}{\log_{10}(1.04)}\\\\\Rightarrow 2t =17.673\\\\\Rightarrow t = 17.673/2=8.8365\\

On rounding to the nearest tenth of a year, t=8.8 years.

So, the invested amount will be double in  8.8 years.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{4}\ liters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

1\frac{3}{5}=\frac{1*5+3}{5}=\frac{8}{5}

step 2

Using proportion

\frac{2}{(8/5)}\frac{liters}{doors} =\frac{x}{1}\frac{liters}{door}\\ \\x=2/(8/5)\\ \\x=10/8\ liters

step 3

Convert to mixed number

\frac{10}{8}\ liters=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{2}{8}=1\frac{1}{4}\ liters
