Answer:

3/8 = 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a basic multiplication problem and finding the LCM of 8 and 3. The first step in this problem is finding the LCM of 3/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. So yay! we have the bottom half of our answer!

Ex.-

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24.

So now we have to find an equivalent fraction. Since we already know that 8 (the denominator in the original equation) can be multiplied by 3 to equal 24, we use 3 (the numerator in the original equation) and multiply it by itself to get an equivalent fraction.

Ex.-

8 x 3 = 24

3 x 3 = 9

Now that we have our numerator and denominator, all we have to do now is put them together to get our answer.

Ex.-

9/24 (answer) = 3/8 (original equation)

Hopefully I could help! :)

arsen [322]

2/5 is equivalent to 4/10 so at the end of February 4/10 was used up
And at the end of January, 3/10 was used
so 4/10 + 3/10 = 7/10

At the end of February, 7/10 of the wood was used

Consider a home mortgage of $225,000 at a fixed APR of 4.5 % for 30 years. a. Calculate the monthly payment. b. Determine the

White raven [17]

<u>The formula for the monthly payment</u>.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}$ , where P = the principal amount, r = the monthly interest rate and n = the total number of months.

Here annual interest rate is given as 4.5%

So, the monthly interest rate $=\frac{4.5\%}{12}= 0.375\% = 0.00375$

Total number of months $= (30*12)months=360 months$

Also given that, the principal amount is $225000

a. So, the monthly payment will be.....

$M= \frac{P(1+r)^nr}{[(1+r)^n] -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1+0.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1+0.00375)^3^6^0 -1}\\ \\ M= \frac{225000(1.00375)^3^6^0*0.00375}{(1.00375)^3^6^0 -1} \\ \\ M \approx 1140$
