Because The Smaller The Denominators The Bigger The Fraction Pieces So The Denominators With 6 And 8 The Six Is Smaller So The 5/6 Will be Greater Than 5/8 .

$1200.00 is deposited into an account that earns 6.5% interest, which is compounded four times per year. How much money will be

choli [55]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}
\\\\
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}
\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$1200\\
r=rate\to 6.5\%\to \frac{6.5}{100}\to &0.065\\
n=
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{times it compounds per year}
\end{array}\to &4\\
t=years\to &6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=1200\left(1+\frac{0.065}{4}\right)^{4\cdot 6}\implies A=1200(1.01625)^{24}$

The sum of 555 consecutive integers is 505505505. What is the third number in this sequence?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The correct question is
The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 505. What is the third number in this sequence?
Let
x-----------> first integer
x+1-----------> second integer
x+2-----------> third integer
x+3-----------> fourth integer
x+4-----------> fifth integer
we know that
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)=505
then
5x+10=505----------> x=(505-10)/5---------> x=99
therefore
the third integer is (x+2)------> 99+2=101

the answer is 101

Answer:

9x + 4y < 110

Step-by-step explanation:

This inequality works because its the cost of hammers ($9) multiplied by how many hammers are bought (x) plus the cost of wrenches ($4) multiplied by how many wrenches are bought (y). The total cost has to be less than 110.
