19) 48 alligators; 7/8 of the alligators were asleep. How many were not asleep?
8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
48 * 1/8 = 48/8 = 6 alligators were not asleep.
20) 2/3 of the student population participated. 1,500 is the student population of the school. HOw many attended the bike rally?
1500 * 2/3 = 1500*2 / 3= 3000 / 3 = 1000 students attended.
21) 18 times at bat:
Kayla 5/6 of the time = 18 * 5/6 = 18*5 / 6 = 90/6 = 15 hits
Tia 8/9 of the time = 18 * 8/9 = 18*8 / 9 = 144/9 = 16 hits
Tia got more hits.
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m =(-2-7)/(8-0)
m =(-9/8)
slope is -9/8
the y intercept is 7 (0,7)
y = mx +b
y = -9/8 x+7
Answer: y = -9/8x +7
To calculate simple interest, you first need to multiply the original amount by the percentage of the money which is going to be added.
In this situation, 500 x 0.05 is the interest which will be added each year.
Therefore, $25 will be added each year. Since it is over 4 years, it is (25*4).
So the account will have earned $100 of simple interest.
Although the account will contain $600, it will have EARNED $100 of interest since it started with $500 already.
Answer - A $100 of simple interest will be earned.
