List the multiples of both 12 and 9:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

9, 18, 27, 36, 45

The lowest common multiple is 36.

This will make the fixtures and bulbs equal.

This means they bought 3 packages of light figures 3 x 12 = 36)

And bought 4 packages of bulbs ( 4 x 9 = 36)

Find out LCM of 9,12

  • LCM=2(2)(3)(3)=36

Now

No of light packages=36/12=3

No of light bulbs=36/4=9

What is the difference between a rate that is compounded annually and a rate that is compounded semiannually
8090 [49]

Answer:

the rate compounded semi-annually is compounded twice in a year. thus, this rate is higher than the rate compounded annually which is compounded once in a year

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

For example, there are two banks

Bank A offers 10% rate with semi-annual compounding

Bank B offers 10% rate with annual compounding.

If you deposit $100, the amount you would have after 2 years in each bank is

A = 100x (1 + 0.1/2)^4 = 121.55

B = 100 x (1 + 0.1)^2 = 121

The interest in bank a is 0.55 higher than that in bank B
