Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1/2 is the fractional part of cookie which was eaten by Dan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan has 2 1/2 cookies and ate 1/2, so we can just subtract the 2 1/2-1/2

which cancels out the 1/2, which is the fractional part.

He has 2 cookies left.

Art [367]

Answer:

(D)Jaleel's method is correct because 2(x-2)=2x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaleel and Lisa are simplifying the expression 2(x-2)+2 as shown.

$J$aleel's Method: \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2 (x -2) + 2 \\= 2 x - 4 + 2 \\= 2 x - 2\end{array}\right$

$L$isa's Method: \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2 (x-2) + 2 \\= 2 x -2 + 2 \\= 2 x\end{array}\right$

We can see that Jaleel's method is correct because:

2(x-2)=2x-4.

When you expand, you must multiply the term outside by all the terms inside the bracket.

The correct option is D.

5. Whitney deposits $9,000 for 2 years. She compares two different banks. State

Volgvan

Answer:

a. $ 381.969,

b. $ 369.171,

c. Kings Savings

d. Reliability.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Amount formula in compound interest,

$A=P(1+r)^t$

And, amount formula in continuously,

$A=Pe^{rt}$ ,

Where,

P = principal amount,

r = rate per periods,

t = number of periods,

a. In State bank,

P = $ 9000, r = 2.1% = 0.021, t = 2 years,

Also, interest earned compound annually,

Thus, amount,

$A=9000(1+0.021)^2 = 9000(1.021)^2 = \$ 9381.969$

So, interest earned = A - P = 9381.969 - 9000 = $ 381.969,

b. In Kings Savings,

P = $ 9000, r = 2.01% = 0.0201, t = 2 years,

Also, interest earned compound continuously,

Thus, amount,

$A=9000e^{0.0201\times 2} = \$ 9369.171$

So, interest earned = A - P = 9369.171 - 9000 = $ 369.171,

c. ∵ 369.171 > 381.969

Thus, King saving pays higher interest.

d. Since, the other factors might affect Whitney's choice besides interest would be reliability.
