Answer:

  a) $8 interest

  b) 32% annual rate

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

The interest is the excess of the payment over the amount borrowed:

  $58 -50 = $8 . . . amount of interest

__

<h3>b)</h3>

The interest rate is the fraction of the original amount that is interest:

  8/50 = 16/100 = 16% . . . . 6-month rate

Usually, we express the rate as an annual rate, so we need to divide this percentage by the number of years. 6 months is 1/2 year, so ...

  r = 16%/(1/2) = 32% . . . . annual interest rate

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The amount of interest is computed using the formula ...

  I = Prt . . . . . P is the principal borrowed; r is the annual rate; t is the number of years

We can use this to find r, the annual rate:

  I/(Pt) = r . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

  r = 8/(50·1/2) = 8/25 = 32/100 = 32% . . . . annual rate

Suppose the diameter of a circle is 6 units What is its circumference?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

18.84 estimated, 6π exactly

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

<u>The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is 2πr:</u>

In that case, all we need to do <em>first </em>is to divide the diameter by 2, so we can substitute that into the equation.

6 ÷ 2 = 3

So we have 2π × 3 to solve.

2π × 3 = 6π

We can estimate the circumference by multiplying by 3.14.

6 × 3.14 = 18.84

(actually multiplying by π gives 18.849... which is pretty close!)

Thus, the circumference is \boxed{6\pi{\text{\:or\:18.84\:roughly}}}.

Hope this helps!

A girl can run 6 2/3 metres in one second. How long will it take her to run 100 metres?
Crank

Answer:

15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

How did i get this answer? It is apparent that the girl is capable of running 6 2/3 metres per one second and she must run 100 metres.

First, let's convert 2/3 into a decimal so that it is easier to calculate later. 2/3=0.667 (you can also just do 2 divide by 3 and will end up with the same number)

Now our numbers are 6.667 and 100. Let's divide 100 by 6.667 which estimates to 15
