Use partial quotients to solve 504 divide 14
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Perform the following division using partial quotients: 504 ÷ 14:

To reduce the numerator, we will be multiplying the denominator by factors of 10, 5, 2, and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 4| 5 0 4

2 8 0 20 <---- 20 x 14 = 280

2 2 4 <---- 504 - 280 = 224

1 4| 5 0 4

2 8 0 20

2 2 4

1 4 0 10 <---- 10 x 14 = 140

8 4 <---- 224 - 140 = 84

1 4| 5 0 4

2 8 0 20

2 2 4

1 4 0 10

8 4

7 0 5 <---- 5 x 14 = 70

1 4 <---- 84 - 70 = 14

1 4| 5 0 4

2 8 0 20

2 2 4

1 4 0 10

8 4

7 0 5

1 4

1 4 1 <---- 1 x 14 = 14

0 <---- 14 - 14 = 0

Our partial quotients add up as follows:

20 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 36

I hope it helps plz Mark me brainliest:)

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :) Heather invests $4,900 in an account with a 3.5% interest rate, making no other deposits or withd
Alex

Answer:    $5,828.28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Compound Interest formula:     A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}       where

  • A is the accrued amount (balance)
  • P is the principal (initial amount invested)
  • r is the interest rate (in decimal form)
  • n is the number of times compounded each year
  • t is the time of the investment (in years)

Given: P = 4,900

           r = 3.5% (0.035)

           n = 2

           t = 5

A=4,900\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.035}{2}\bigg)^{2(5)}\\\\\\.\qquad = 4900(1.0175)^{10}\\\\\\.\qquad = \large\boxed{5,828.28}\\

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.
mafiozo [28]

Complete question :

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.

a. Write the markdown as a decimal. b. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book.

Answer:

0.52 ; 0.52b

Step-by-step explanation:

The markdown percentage = 52%

Expresaing markdown as a decimal :

52% = 52 / 100 = 0.52

Expression for the sale price of hardcover book:

Original price = b

Price was marked down by 0.52

Hence, sales price becomes ;

Original price * markdown

b * 0.52

0.52b

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes?
worty [1.4K]
<h3>Answer: B) the function g(x) has a larger slope</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

The slope of f(x) is 4, since the equation y = 4x+2 has slope m = 4. Compare this to y = mx+b.

The slope of g(x) is 5. Note how if we started at (0,-2) on the red line and moved up 5 and to the right 1, we arrive at (1,3) which is another point on the red line. You could use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

to get the same result.

Since the slope of f(x) is 4 and the slope of g(x) is 5, we see that g(x) has a larger slope. The g(x) line is steeper compared to f(x).
