John was adding Rational Numbers. He showed his work below. What was John's error?

Mathematics
1 answer:
bogdanovich [222]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-5 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

John's error was in adding the whole number and fractional portions separately, the fractions must be converted to improper fractions with common denominators to be added or subtracted properly so

(-7 4/5) + (2 1/5), convert to improper fractions

-39/5 + 11/5, both fractions have common denominator so we can continue

-39 + 11 = -28, so -39/5 + 11/5 = -28/5, convert back to proper fractions

-28/5 = (-25/5) + (-3/5) = -5 3/5

jamal is going to borrow 14000 from his credit union to buy a used car. the APR is 7.0% and the length of the loan is 4 years. h
ELEN [110]
The formula to use here would be:

A = P(1+r)^t  where P is the principal (starting) amount, r is the rate of interest, and t is time. Knowing this, plug in your values:

A = 14,000(1+0.07)^4 once worked out, you should get $18,351.14414 < this is the total amount he would be paying at the end of 4 years. to find the interest, subtract this amount from the principal amount (14,000):

$18,5351.14414 - 14,000 = 4,351.14414 < this is the amount of interest. Round your answer. 

Answer: Jamal will pain $4,351.14 interest.

Need help with number 62 plz!
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

All convert to terminating decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

A decimal fraction will terminate if its denominator is a power of 2 or 5 or a product of such powers.

16 is the 4th power of 2, so all fractions that are some multiple of 1/16 will terminate.
