He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.
First, lets find equivalents of 1/2

If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.
2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4
3/4 is greater than 1/2
Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice
4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice
5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.
Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions
Solve each problem. Volume of a Box A piece of sheet metal is 2.5 times as long as it is wide. It is to be made into a box with an open top by cutting 3 -inch squares from each corner and folding up the sides, as shown at the top of the next page. Let x
represent the width of the original piece of sheet metal. (a) Represent the length of the original piece of sheet metal in terms of x.
(b) What are the restrictions on x?
(c) Determine a function V
that represents the volume of the box in terms of x
(d) For what values of x
(that is, original widths) will the volume of the box be between 600 and 800 cubic inches? Determine the answer graphically, and give values to the nearest tenth of an inch

Answer: Choice B) Investment decreases by 3% each month
=====================================================
Explanation:
We won't use the value 2500 at all.
The base of the exponential is 0.97
Set this equal to 1+r and solve for r
1+r = 0.97
r = 0.97-1
r = -0.03
The negative r value indicates we have exponential decay, so the value of the investment decreases by 3% each month.
Let's say you had $100 to start off. This would mean the investment would be worth $97 after one month is up.
