Answer:

8.7 so either 8 or 9 tenth of a year

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Is it compounded per month? I assume</em>

1. Compound interest formula

FV = PV(1+r/100k)^kn

FV is the future value,

PV is the present value,

n is the number of years,

k is the number of compounding periods per year

r% is the nominal annual rate of interest

2. Plug in numbers

3550 = 2400(1+4.6/100*12)^12*n

71/48 = (6023/6000)^12n

12n = logBase(6023/6000)*(71/48)

n = answer/12

n ≈ 8.70

A swimming pool is filled with water by using two taps A and B. Alone, it takes tap A 3 hours less than B to fill the same pool.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Tap A 3hrs

Tap B 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of the swimming pool be Xm^3.

Now, to get the appropriate volume, we know we need to multiply the rate by the time. Let the rate of the taps be R1 and R2 respectively, while the time taken to fill the swimming pool be Ta and Tb respectively.

x/Ta= Ra

x/Tb= Rb

X/(Ra + Rb)= 2

Ta = Tb - 3

From equation 2:

X = 2( Ra + Rb)

Substituting the values of Ra and Rb Using the first set of equations

X = 2( x/Ta + x/Tb)

But Ta = Tb - 3

1/2 = 1/(Tb - 3)+ 1/Tb

0.5 = (Tb + Tb-3)/Tb(Tb - 3)

At this juncture let’s say Tb = y

0.5 = (2y - 3)/y(y - 3)

y(y-3 ) = 4y - 6

y^2 -3y - 4y + 6 = 0

y^2 -7y + 6= 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get y =

y = Tb = 6hrs or 1hr

We remove one hour as we know that Tap A takes 3hrs left than tap B and there is nothing like negative hours

Now, we get Ta by Tb -3 = 6 - 3 = 3hrs
