Answer:
The worth of the company in 2000 is $56,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth rate of the company is:

To determine the worth of the company in 2000, first compute the change in the net worth during the period 1990 (<em>t</em> = 0) to 2000 (<em>t</em> = 10) as follows:

The increase in the company's net worth from 1990 to 2000 is $16,000.
If the company's worth was $40,000 in 1990 then the worth of the company in 2000 is:
Worth in 2000 = Worth in 1990 + Net increase in company's worth

Thus, the worth of the company in 2000 is $56,000.
Honestly, the most intelligent solution would be to light the candle first, since it has a longer duration and then I can light the lamp, and then I can light the newspaper. Then, I will use the newspaper to light the fire.
Firstly I would revert these back to improper fractions:
So 17/6 ÷ 24/5
Then I would use keep, change, flip
So 17/6 * 5/24
Finally simplify
85/144
Final Answer: 85/144
