<h3>Answer: 1/4</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 60 members at the club. I picked this value since 10*6 = 60, which is the product of the denominators. This will help give us whole numbers in the steps shown below. You can pick any number you want for the club size.

Since we have 60 members and 3/10 of them are men, this means (3/10)*60 = 18.

So there are 18 men at this club.

--------------

Next, we're told that 5/6 of the men are right handed. So (5/6)*18 = 15 men are right handed.

Lastly, we divide that last result (15) over the total number of club members (60) and we end up with 15/60 = (1*15)/(4*15) = 1/4

Therefore, 1/4 of the members are men who are right handed.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough data to be able to say anything about what fraction of the women are right handed.

--------------

Note that:

(3/10)*(5/6) = (3*5)/(10*6) = 15/60 = 1/4

which is an alternative pathway to the solution.

7. A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. What is the effective

Answer:

The effective interest rate, rounded to the nearest tenth, is 0.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The banker's rule is the simple interest formula.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly) and t is the time, in years.

The effective interest rate is given by the following formula:

$E_{IR} = \frac{E}{P}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

A man makes a simple discount note for $6,200, at an ordinary bank discount rate of 8.84%, for 40 days. We consider that the year has 360 days. This means that $P = 6200, I = 0.0884, t = \frac{40}{360} = \frac{1}{9}$ .
