Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

Answer:

Ans= 6720 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

From Combination rule from Permutation and Combination, nCr

We use 8^C3 or 8C3,

8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1

--------------------------  =6,720

3x2x1

or

8x7x6x5x4x3! /3!, here the 3! cancels each other out, and we're left with 8x7x6x5x4, which equals 6720.

Eva is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 6.1% compounded continuously. How much would Eva need to invest,
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$46,320

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The rate of interest is 6.1%

The amount is $71,000

And, the time period is  7 years

We need to find out the invested amount

As we know that

In the compounded continously, the following formula should be used

Amount = Invested amount × e^(rate × time period)

$71,000 =  Invested amount × e^(6.1% × 7)

$71,000 =  Invested amount × e^0.427

$71,000 =  Invested amount × 1.5326

So, the investment amount is

= $71,000 ÷ 1.5326

= $46324,912

= $46,320
