Answer:

90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate how many seconds we have in two hours.

In one hour we have 60 minutes, so in 2 hours we have 2*60 = 120 minutes.

In one minute we have 60 seconds, so in 120 minutes we have 120*60 = 7,200 seconds.

Now we can use a direct rule of 3. If in 0.08 seconds 1 baby is born, how many babies will be born in 7,200 seconds?

$\text{0.08 seconds} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- \text{1 babies}\\ \text{7,200 seconds} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!- \text{x babies}$

We use the formula of the direct rule of 3:

$x = \frac {7,200 * 1}{0.08} \\ \\ x = \frac {7,200}{0.08}\\ \\$

x = 90,000

90,000 babies are born in 2 hours.

0.8 x 60 = 48 (per min) 48 x 60 = 2880 (per hour) 2880 x 2 = 5760 I think the answer is 5760!

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

All payments will be made at the end of the year by using the present value of inflows

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Value Of Inflows = Cash Inflow × Present Value Of Discounting Factor (Rate%,Time Period)

Present Value Of Inflows = $15000/1.037$ + $25000/1.037^{2}$ + $40000/1.037^{3}$ + $60000/1.037^{4}$

Present Value Of Inflows = 125466.3

There is a spinner with 15 equal areas, numbered 1 through 15. If the spinner is spun

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

1/3 and 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

There are 5 Multiples of 3 on the Spinner and 3 multiples of four.

5/15 is the probability for a multiple of 3 which can be simplified to 1/3

3/15 is the probability for a multiple of 4 which can be simplified to 1/5

Hope this Helps!

What is the nth term of the sequence -2 -8 -18 -32 -50

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

-2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the image attached:
We see that the second differences (blue ones) are all equal so we conclude that this is a quadratic sequence.
The quadratic sequence has the form:
$T_{n} = an^{2} +bn +c$

To find the value of a we just divide second difference ( -4 ) by 2:

$a = \frac{-4}{2}= -2$

Now we have:

$T_{n}= -2n^{2} +bn+c$

Substitute $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ into the equation above:

$T_{1} = -2(1)^{2} +b(1) +c$

$T_{2} = -2(2)^{2} +b(2)+c$

Since $T_{1}$ = -2 and $T_{2}$ = -8 , after simplification we have:

$b +c =0$
$2b+c=0$

The solution of this system is:

b=0, c =0

The general term is :

$T_{n} = -2n^{2}$
