Answer:

133.33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $500

Interest rate (r) = 1.5% = 0.015

Triple amount of principal = $500 * 3 = $1500 = final amount (A)

Number of years (t) =?

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

1500 = 500(1 + 0.015t)

1500 / 500 = 1 + 0.015t

3 = 1 + 0.015t

3 - 1= 0.015t

2 = 0.015t

2 / 0.015 = 0.015t / 0.015

133.333 = t

The area of the base of a rectangular prisim four and three fourths and the height of two and one third what is the volume

VikaD [51]

Data:
$A_{base} = 4 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4*4+3}{4} = \frac{16+3}{4} \to A_{base} = \frac{19}{4}$

$h (height) = 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3*2+1}{3} = \frac{6+1}{3} \to h (height) = \frac{7}{3}$
$v (volume) = ?$

Formula: $V = A_{b}*h$

Solving:
$V = A_{b}*h$
$V = \frac{19}{4} * \frac{7}{3}$
$V = \frac{133}{12}$
$V = 11.08333....$
$\boxed{\boxed{V \approx 11.08}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
