You would be able to cut 144 pieces of wire from the spool because 270/1 7/8 (or 1.875) equals 144
A unique decimal that I encounter regularly is "0.05". I encounter this almost every day, when I go to the store to buy something, the saleslady gives me $0.05 as change. When I go home and put some of my extra money in my piggy bank, I hold a $0.05 in my hand.
I = p * r * n
i is the interest
p is the principal
r is the interest rate per time period
n is the number of time periods.
in your problem:
i = 900
p = 2000
r = what you want to find
n = 3 years
formula becomes 900 = 2000 * r * 3
solve for r to get r = 900 / 2000 / 3 = .15
that's .15 interest rate per year = 15% per year.
at a nominal interest rate of .15 per year, the interest rate per month would be .15/12 = .0125 per month.
the remaining balance at the end of 6 month is equal to 1907.140183
Nadia = 3x than Jim
Paul = 25+ than Nadia
Jim = ?
Nadia and Paul = 85
85-25 = 60
(Subtract Nadia's and Paul's stickers all together with the stickers that Paul have more so both of the stickers are balance)
Nadia = 60/2 =30
Paul = 30+25 =55
Jim= 30/3=10
#Jim have 10 stickers
