Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each house uses 1/4 acres and there is a total of 7 1/2 acres. Therefore, we can divide the total land by the land used for one house.
First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
An easy way to do this is by multiplying the denominator or bottom number of the fraction (2) by the whole number (7). Then, add the numerator (1).
- 2*7=14
- 14+1 =15
This becomes the numerator of the improper fraction and the denominator stays the same. The fraction is 15/2
Now, divide the fractions. Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction and follow Keep Change Flip.
Keep the first fraction. Change the division sign to a multiplication symbol.
Flip the second fraction. Switch the numerator and denominator.
Multiply across.
<u>30 houses can be built.</u>

Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
$991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
$991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82
The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
$597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
$597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73
The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
$197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
$197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.
In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 =
$1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice

In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
