Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).
like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...
what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound
Answer:
39.50
42.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Age of the 2 men = sum of the ages of the 6 men - sum of the ages of the 4 men
Average = sum of ages / total number of men
35 = sum of ages / 6
sum of ages = 35 x6 = 210
32 = sum of ages / 4
32 x 4 = sum of ages
128
210 - 128 = 82
age of the younger man = x
age of the older man = 3 + x
x + 3 + x = 82
2x + 3 = 82
2x = 82 - 3
2x = 79
x = 79/2 = 39.5
older man = 39.5 + 3 = 42.50
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
Given
x1 = 6
y1 = 2
x2 = 4
y2 = 10
Therefore
Slope = 10 - 2/4 - 6
= 8/-2
= -4
Answer:
Ella has the greatest return in the current year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Debby would receive $0.80 for each of her 2000 common stock in the oil company,hence Debby's return on investment in the current year is $1600($0.80*2000)
Besides,Ella's return on the stock investment in the current year is computed thus:
Ella's return= 5%*1000*$50=$2,500
In addition,Unique's dollar return on the investment is computed as follows:
Unique's return on investment=4%*2000*$20=$1,600
From the above computations,Ella seems to have the highest return in the current year of $2,500 whereas the two others managed to have $1600 return each
