Quantity of strawberry picked up by students = 144 ounces

Let number of strawberry in pounds be 'x'

1 ounce = 0.0625 pound

$\frac{1}{144} = \frac{0.0625}{x}$

Cross multiply

1x = 144(0.0625)

1x = 9

Divide both side by 1

$\frac{1x}{1} = \frac{9}{1}$

x = 9

9 pounds of strawberries students will pick up to make 144 ounces of strawberry jam.

A bank advertises that it compounds money quarterly and that it will take Double your money in 10 years. what is the interest-ra

S_A_V [24]

The interest rate is 6.992%, if a bank advertises that it compounds money quarterly and that it will take Double your money in 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

Compounds money quarterly

Double your money in 10 years

Step:1

Formula to calculate future investment with compounded quarterly,

$A =P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$ ...............................(1)

Where, A - Future amount

P - Initial investment\

r - Rate of interest

n - No. of compounding in a year

t - No. of years

Step:2

Let, P = X

A = 2X ( Double your money )

From given, n - 4 ( for compounding quarterly )

t - 10 years

From equation (1)

$2X =X(1+\frac{r}{4} )^{(4)(10)}$

$\frac{2X}{X} =(1+\frac{r}{4} )^{(4)(10)}$

$2 =(1+\frac{r}{4} )^{40}$

Take root $40^{th}$ root on both side,

$\sqrt[40]{2} = (1+\frac{r}{4} )$

$1.017479692 = (\frac{4+r}{4} )$

$(1.017479692)(4) = (r+4)$

$4.06992=(r+4)$

$r = 4.06992 -4$

$r =( 0.06992)(100)$

r = 6.992 %

Result:

The interest rate is 6.992%, if a bank advertises that it compounds money quarterly and that it will take Double your money in 10 years.

George walked around the entire perimeter of his rectangular garden. The length of his garden was 12 yards and the width was 8 y

Marina86 [1]

To find perimeter, you use this equation for a parallelogram:
2l+2w=p
Let’s not put the numbers in,
2(12)+2(8)
24+16
40
So b, 40 yards is how much he walked.
