Answer: 9.9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If interest is compounded continuously, then formula to compute final amount A = Pe^{rt}, where P =initial amount, r= rate of interest , t=time.

Given: P= $61,000, r= 1.9% =0.019  , A = $ 73600

Substitute all values in formula

73600=61000e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{73600}{61000}=e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.20655738=e^{0.019t}

Taking natural log on both sides

\ln (1.20655738)=0.019t\\\\\\ 0.18777116=0.019t\\\\\\ t=\dfrac{0.18777116}{0.019}\\\\\\ t=9.88269263\approx9.9\ \text{years}

Hence, the required time = 9.9 years.

There is 7/8 quarts of orange juice. Mrs. Mathewson would like to serve her guests 3/16 quarts orange juice. How many guests can
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

4\frac{2}{3} guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 7/8 quarts of orange juice. Mrs. Mathewson would like to serve her guests 3/16 quarts orange juice.

To find the number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve with 7/8 quarts of juice, we will divide 7/8 by 3/16 as:

\text{Number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve}=\frac{7}{8}\div\frac{3}{16}

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

\text{Number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve}=\frac{7}{8}\times\frac{16}{3}

\text{Number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve}=\frac{7}{1}\times\frac{2}{3}

\text{Number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve}=\frac{14}{3}

\text{Number of guests Mrs. Mathewson can serve}=4\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, Mrs. Mathewson can serve orange juice to 4\frac{2}{3} guests.
