Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest number of groups they can be split into and have the same number of boys and girls on each team is 6 groups

Given:

Number of girls = 12

Number of boys = 16

Find the highest common factor of 12 and 16

12 = 1, 2, 4

18 = 1, 2,4

The highest common factor of 12 and 16 is 4

Number of girls in each group = 12/4

= 3 girls

Number of boy in each group = 18/4

= 4.5 boys=5

Therefore, the group can be split into 4 groups to have 3 girls and 5 boys in each group

Solve the following equation for x: 6(4x+5)= 3(x+8)+3. Round to the nearest hundredth.
gavmur [86]
6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 27
24x - 3x = 27 - 30
21x = - 3
x = -3/21
x = - 0.143 <==

Find the simple interest earned to the nearest cent for each principal, interest rate, and time.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $31.2

Interest earned at 2 percent rate is $5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where 'A' is the amount, 'r' is the rate and 't' is the time in years

When;

P = $1200

r = 3.9%

t = \frac{8}{12} years

Then,

A = $1200(1 + 0.039(\frac{8}{12}))

A = $1200 + $31.2 = $1231.2

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $1231.2 - $1200 = $31.2

When;

P = $580

r = 2%

t = \frac{6}{12} years

Then,

A = $580(1 + 0.02(\frac{6}{12}))

A = $580 + $5.8 = $585.8

Interest earned = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 2 percent rate = $585.8 - $580 = $5.8
