Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to see how many times bigger 2/5 is than 9/10. Let's call how much bigger 2/5 is b and solve below.

9/10b=2/5   (2/5 is b times larger than 9/10)

We divide both sides by 9/10, so your division would be 2/5÷9/10.

b=4/9

Therefore, the builder worked 4/9 times as long in the morning as he did in the afternoon.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

2/9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 2/5 divided by 9/10 = 10/45 wich if we simplify it we get 2/9  so that's why 2/9 is the right answer.

ycow [4]

Answer:

69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Mean height of 14 students = 69.0 inches</em>

<em>Mean = sum of data/number of data</em>

<em>69 = sum of data/14</em>

<em>sum of data = 966</em>

<u>FOR NEW MEAN:</u>

<em>Height of additional student = 70.5</em>

Mean = sum of data/ number of data

Mean = 966+70.5/14+1

Mean = 1036.5/15

Mean = 69.1

Therefore, the mean height of the 15 students in the class is 69.1

James wants to invest $12,000. He can invest the money at 7.2% simple interest for 30 yr or he can invest at 6.8% with interest
Sever21 [200]

Over time, compound interest at any rate will outperform simple interest. When the rates are nearly equal to start with, compound interest will be greater in very short order. Here, it takes less than 1 year for compound interest to give a larger account balance.

In 30 years, the simple interest will be

... I = P·r·t = 12,000·0.07·30 = 25,200

In 30 years, the compound interest will be

... I = P·(e^(rt) -1) = 12,000·(e^(.068·30) -1) ≈ 80,287.31

_____

6.8% compounded continuously results in more total interest

According to the chart below, what percentage of Ralph’s expenses are items other than taxes?
pochemuha

Answer:

  • <u>65%</u>

Explanation:

Please, see attached the chart corresponding to this question.

The<em> chart</em> is a pie chart that shows the percentage composition of the <em>expenses </em>and uses color to identify each item.

The items corresponding to<em> taxes</em> are:

  • <em>Federal tax: 29%</em>
  • <em>State tax: 6%</em>

All the other expenses are not taxes.

Add the two items that are taxes: 29% + 6% = 35%.

Hence, the expenses that are not taxes can be calculated by difference:

  • 100% - 35% = 65%.
