Answer:

here,

money spent in 1st year =$250

money spent in 2nd year=$295

total inflated amount=$295- $250

=$45

Then,

inflation rate= ($45/ $250)×100%

=18%

Richard is given one of four pieces of equal-sized fabric. After using some of his fabric for a project, he has 5/6 of a square
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Richard used 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2 of fabric for his project.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of fabric = 11\frac23\ yd^2

Now To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator,  Add that to the numerator,Then write the result on top of the denominator.

11\frac23\ yd^2 can be Rewritten as \frac{35}{3}\ yd^2

Number of pieces fabric was cut = 4

Richard is given one of four pieces of equal-sized fabric.

Amount of fabric Richard was given = \frac14 \times \frac{35}{3}=\frac{35}{12}\ yd^2

Amount of fabric left with Richard = \frac56 \ yd^2

We need to find the amount of fabric Richards used for his project.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project is equal to Amount of fabric Richard was given minus Amount of fabric left with Richard.

framing in equation form we get;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project = \frac{35}{12}-\frac56

Now we will make the denominator common using LCM we get;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project = \frac{35}{12}-\frac{5\times2}{6\times2} = \frac{35}{12}-\frac{10}{12}

Now Denominator is same so we will solve the numerator.

amount of fabric Richards used for his project  = \frac{35-10}{12}= \frac{25}{12}\ yds^2

\frac{25}{12}\ yds^2 can be rewritten as 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2

Hence Richard used 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2 of fabric for his project.

If the population of a country is reported in the year 1990 as 471.56 million and in the year 2000 as 492.53 million, when will
Aleks [24]

Answer:

35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

It will make this problem a whole lot easier if we call the year 1990 our initial year, or year 0; that means that the year 2000 is year 10.  The coordinates then that result from that change are (0, 471.56) and (10, 492.53).  Population growth is always exponential, and the formula for that, in terms of x and y, where x is the year and y is the population in millions, is

y=a(b)^x

a is the initial population at year 0 and b is the growth rate.  If the growth rate is a decimal (less than 1) what we have is decay as opposed to growth.  In order to determine when (x) the population (y) is 492.53, we have to find the model by solving for a and b using the coordinates.  Once we find this model, we will use it to solve for x by filling in the y of 550 million.  So here we go.

Using the first coordinate, we know that at year 0 the population is 471.56.  So that is our initial population, a in our formula.  Using that value of a and plugging it in to the formula with the other coordinate gives us

492.53=471.56(b)^{10}

Now we have to solve for b.  Begin by dividing both sides by 471.56 to get

1.044469421=b^{10}

"Undo" that 10th power by taking the 10th root of both sides which gives you that b = 1.004360381

Now we have our model:

y=471.56(1.00436)^x

We will plug in a y value of 550 and solve for x using natural logs.

550=471.56(1.004360381)^x

Begin by dividing both sides by 471.56 to get

1.166341505=(1.004360381)^x

In order to solve for x we have to pull it down from the position in which it is currently sitting, which is an exponent.  Taking the natural log of both sides will solve that problem for us:

ln(1.166341505)=ln(1.004360381)^x

The power rule for natural logs tells us we can pull the exponent down in front giving us:

ln(1.166341505)=x*ln(1.004360381)

Now we will divide both sides by ln(1.004360381) to isolate the x.  Doing that and at the same time finding those values on our calculator gives us:

\frac{.153871931}{.0043505227}=x so

x = 35

Find the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be formed from a 210-in. piece of wire. (Use decimal notation. Giv
Monica [59]

Answer:

  52.500 by 52.500 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle with maximum area will be a square. Its side length will be 1/4 the perimeter, so is 210/4 = 52.5 inches.

The figure is a 52.500 inch square. The interval of optimization is <em>closed</em>.

_____

Side lengths are restricted to the interval 0 to 105 inches.

__

Any n-sided polygon with a given perimeter will have its maximum area when the polygon is regular. A regular 4-gon is a square.
