Answer:

PQ ≈ 20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of lengths from R to the intersection points with the circle is the same for each secant:

RS×RT = RQ×RP

40(40 +31) = (44)(PQ +44)

40(71)/44 = PQ +44

PQ = 2840/44 -44 = 64 6/11 -44 = 20 6/11

PQ ≈ 20.5

Francisco has a savings account balance of 2,033.88. The interest rate on the account is 2.9% compounded monthly. If he opened t

inna [77]

Let P = the value of the initial deposit.

Given:
A = 2,033.88, the current amount
r = 2.9% = 0.029, interest rate
n = 12, compounding interval
t = 9 years

Then
$A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

That is,
P(1 + 0.029/12)¹⁰⁸ = 2203.88
1.2978P = 2203.88
P = $1,698.17

Answer: $1,698.17

Ginger's baby weighed only 3 3/8 pounds when it was born. The doctor said it could not leave the hospital until it weighed 5 1/2

Elanso [62]

To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,
by turning into fractions
[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2
[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8
 11/2 - 27/8
To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4
44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.
17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1.
In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.
