Answer:

8 inches

48 inches

total 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x = 56

7x = 56

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 56/7

x = 8

The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches

The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches

8+48 = 56 inches

The total length is 56 inches

How much more would $1,000 earn in 5 years in an account compounded continuously than an account compounded quarterly if the int
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: There is a difference of $ 1.0228.

Explanation: Given, initial amount or principal = $ 1000,

Time= 5 years and given compound rate of interest = $3.7%

Now, Since the amount in compound continuously,

A= Pe^{rt} , where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Here, P=$ 1000, t=5 years and r= $3.7%,

Thus, amount in compound continuously ,  A=1000e^{3.7\times5/100}

⇒A=1000e^{18.5}=1000\times 1.20321844013=1203.21844013

Therefore, interest in this compound continuously rate =1203.21844013-1000=203.21844013

now, Since the amount in compound quarterly,

A=P(1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4t}, where, r is the rate of compound interest, P is the principal amount and t is the time.

Thus, amount in compound quarterly, A=1000(1+\frac{3.7/4}{100} )^{4\times5}

⇒A=1000(1+\frac{3.7}{400} )^{20}

⇒A=1000(1+\frac{3.7}{400} )^{20}

⇒A= 1202.19567617

Therefore, interest in this compound quarterly rate=1202.19567617-1000=202.19567617

So, the difference in these interests=203.21844013-202.19567617=1.02276396 ≈1.0228

Price-club sells a 12-ounce package of spaghetti noodles for $3.44 and Shop Mart sells a 2-pound box of spaghetti noodles for $8
Eva8 [605]

The unit price per ounce at Price club is $0.29 and the unit price per ounce at Shop Mart is $0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of 12 ounce package at Price Club = $3.44

Unit rate per ounce = \frac{Price\ of\ package}{Weight\ of\ package}

Unit rate per ounce = \frac{3.44}{12} = \$0.29

Price of 2 pound box at Shop Mart= $8.35

1 pound = 16 ounce

2 pound = 16*2 = 32 ounces

Unit rate per ounce = \frac{Price\ of\ package}{Weight\ of\ package}

Unit rate per ounce = \frac{8.35}{32} = \$0.26

The unit price per ounce at Price club is $0.29 and the unit price per ounce at Shop Mart is $0.26
