The fraction 1/2 converts to 0.50 in decimal form.

The mixed number 15 & 3/4 is the same as 15.75

If Calvin is distracted, then he makes 15.75-0.50 = 15.25 pizzas per hour on average.

Multiply by 8 to find the total number of pizzas possible.

8*15.25 = 122

<h3>Answer: Calvin can make 122 pizzas overall if he is distracted</h3>

Calvin can make 122 pizzas in an 8-hour shift with Megan.

Since Calvin works at a pizza place making pizzas, and if he is working alone, he can make an average of 15 3/4 per hour, but if he works with his friend Megan, he tends to get distracted, and his rate falls by 1/2 per hour, to determine how many pizzas can Calvin make in a 8-hour shift with Megan, the following calculation must be performed:

  • Rate of pizzas made x number of hours = Total number of pizzas
  • (15 3/4 - 1/2) x 8 = X
  • (15.75 - 0.5) x 8 = X
  • 15.25 x 8 = X
  • 122 = X

Therefore, Calvin can make 122 pizzas in an 8-hour shift with Megan.

Compute the exact interest on $5,870 at 12% if the money is borrowed from June to December of the same year.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The exact interest on $5,870 at 12% is $410.9

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided we know that

Principal amount: $5,870

Interest rate: 12% -> 0.12

Time: 7 months (From June to December)

When you know the principal amount, the rate, and the time, the amount of interest can be calculated by using the formula:

I=P\cdot r\cdot t

where P is principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the time in years.

We need to convert the 7 months into 1 year.

7 \>months \cdot \frac{1 year}{12 months} = \frac{7}{12} year

Now we can use the above formula

I=P\cdot r\cdot t=5870\cdot 0.12 \cdot \frac{7}{12} \\I = 0.12\cdot \frac{7\cdot \:5870}{12}\\I = 0.12\cdot \frac{20545}{6}\\I = \frac{2465.4}{6}\\I = 410.9

Therefore the exact interest on $5,870 at 12% is $410.9
