Use the benchmark 1/2 to compare 5/8 and 2/7

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you used a compound statement, it would look like this.

2/7 < 1/2 < 5/8

One half is bigger than 2/7. It is much closer to 1/4 than 1/2. 1/4 = 2/8 so 2/7 is just a little bit less than that.

On the other hand 1/2 is just smaller than 5/8. 1/2 = 4/8 so you can see that 1/2 is less than 5/8.

Last year, Susan had 10,000 to invest. She invested some of it in an account that paid 6%
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

In the account that paid 6% Susan invest \$6,000

In the account that paid 5% Susan invest \$4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

Part a) account that paid 6% simple interest per year

in this problem we have

t=1\ years\\ P=\$x\\r=0.06

substitute in the formula above

I1=x(0.06*1)

I1=0.06x

Part b) account that paid 5% simple interest per year

in this problem we have

t=1\ years\\ P=\$10,000-\$x\\r=0.05

substitute in the formula above

I2=(10,000-x)(0.05*1)

I2=500-0.05x

we know that

I1+I2=\$560

substitute and solve for x

0.06x+500-0.05x=560

0.01x=560-500

0.01x=60

x=\$6.000

therefore

In the account that paid 6% Susan invest \$6,000

In the account that paid 5% Susan invest \$4,000
