Part A: 47 x 38 + 47 x 62. You have to do your order of operations first. 47 x 38 is 1786. 47 x 62 is 2914. 2914 + 1786 is 4700, your answer.
Part B: 752 + (467+248) = 752 + (715)=1467.
1/2 is half and he would buy half a pound of cheese
For the answer to the question above,
<span>V(n) = a * b^n, where V(n) shows the value of boat after n years.
V(0) = 3500
V(2) = 2000
n = 0
V(0) = a * b^0 = 3500
a = 3500
V(2) = a * b^2
2000 = 3500 * b^2
b = sqrt (2000/3500)
b ≈ 0.76
V(n) = 3500 * 0.76^n
We can check it for n = 1 which is close to 2500 in the graph:
V(1) = 3500 * (0.76)^1
V(1) = 2660
And in the graph we have V(3) ≈ 1500,
V(n) = 3500 * (0.76)^3 ≈ 1536
Now n = 9.5
V(9.5) = 3500 * (0.76)^(9.5)
V(9.5) ≈ 258</span>
We have that
1 1/2 acres-------------> 1.5 acres
one hour----------------> 60 minutes
Step 1
I proceed to make a rule of three
<span>if Jami can now mow 1/6 acre -----------------------> in 8 minutes
1.5 acres----------------------------------------------> X
X=1.5*8/(1/6)=72 minutes
72 minutes > 60 minutes
therefore
</span><span>Jami can not mow 1 1/2 acres in an hour
</span><span>The time required by jami to mow 1 1/2 acres is 72 minutes</span><span>
</span>
