Mathematics
1 answer:
kondor19780726 [428]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound annual interest is  A = P(1 + r)t  where  

A = Accumulated or final amount  (double $500 = $1000)  

P = Principal or original amount  ($500)  

r = Rate as a decimal (0.08)

t = Time in years  

1000 = 500(1 + 0.08)t

2 = 1.08t  

Take the logarithm of both sides.  I prefer the natural logarithm ln, but if you're more comfortable with base 10 logs they will work just as well  

ln(2) = ln(1.08t)  

ln(2) = t*ln(1.08)

t = ln(2)/ln(1.08)

t = 9.0065 years  

Check:  500*1.089.0065 = $1000

What is a unitary method?

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Calculation :

1 pound = 16 ounces

Total cheese Ellie has = \frac{2}{8} pound

Cheese required to make tacos = \frac{2}{8}×\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} pounds

Ounces of cheese required to make cheese are \frac{1}{8} × 16 = 2 ounces
