Answer:

Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of 1-inch paperclip = 1.6\times 10^{-5} miles

Number of paperclips used to reach the moon = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Total distance from the moon = Number of paper clips used × Length of one clip

= (1.5 × 10¹⁰) × (1.6 × 10⁻5)

= (1.5 × 1.6) (10¹⁰× 10⁻⁵)

= 2.4 × 10⁽¹⁰⁻⁵⁾ miles

= 2.4 × 10⁵ miles

Distance from the moon is 2.4 × 10⁵ miles.

What is the present value of 6000 received 14 years from today when the interest rate is 10%
likoan [24]

Answer:

$14400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= 6000

Time= 14 years

Rate= 10%

Let us use the simple interest expression to find the final amount

A=P(1+rt)

substitute

A=6000(1+0.1*14)

A=6000(1+1.4)

A=6000*2.4

A=$14400

Hence based on a simple interest model the final amount is $14400

so the you have 3n + 5 = 84
minus 5 from both sides and then you get 3n = 79
divid both sides by 3 and then you get n = 26.33 reapting
