If you were baking and you had to divide a 1/2 tablespoon in half you would need to know how to multiply fractions.Dividing is the opposite of multiplying so multiplying fractions is just the opposite of dividing fractions.

It's important cause when you understand how to multiply fraction,dividing fractions would be much more easier. Because dividing fraction is basically multiplying fraction (just flipping the second fraction upside down and then do the multiplication).

Colin invests £2350 into a savings account. The bank gives 4.2% compound interest for the first 4 years and 4.9% thereafter. How
mixer [17]
To solve this, we are going to use the compound interest formula: A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
where
A is the final amount after t years 
P is the initial investment 
r is the interest rate in decimal form 
n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year

For the first 4 years we know that: P=2350, r= \frac{4.2}{100} =0.042, t=4, and since the problem is not specifying how often the interest is communed, we are going to assume it is compounded annually; therefore, n=1. Lest replace those values in our formula:
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
A=2350(1+ \frac{0.042}{1} )^{(1)(4)}
A=2350(1+0.042)^{4}
A=2770.38

Now, for the next 6 years the intial investment will be the final amount from our previous step, so P=2770.38. We also know that: r= \frac{4.9}{100} =0.049, t=6, and n=1. Lets replace those values in our formula one more time:
A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}
A=2770.38(1+ \frac{0.049}{1})^{(1)(6)
A=2770.38(1+0.049)^6
A=3691.41

We can conclude that Collin will have <span>£3691.41 in his account after 10 years.</span>

a triangle has an area of 38.4cm.the height of the triangle is 12.8cm.what is the length of the base of the triangle​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: 6  cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use equation for area of triangle

A=a*h/2

a*h=2A

a=2A/h

where a  represents base of triangle

h represents height of triangle.

h=12.8 cm

A=38.4 cm²

a=2A/h=2*38.4 cm²/12.8 cm=76.8cm²/12.8cm= 6 cm

Bonzo went to a carnival. At the first
Shalnov [3]

Bonzo started with 2.1 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Bonzo has $x

1. Change $x to cents

2. Calculate the remaining money with him after each game

3. Equate the left money in the 3rd game by zero to find x

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ $x = 100 x cents

First game

∵ Bonzo has 100 x cents

∵ He paid 10¢ to get in

∴ The money left is (100 x - 10)

∵ He spent half  the money he had left

- That mean the money left with him is the other have

∴ The money left with him = \frac{1}{2} (100 x - 10) = (50 x - 5) cents

∵ He spent 10¢  to get out

∴ The money left after 1st game = (50 x - 5) - 10

∴ The money left after 1st game = (50 x - 15) cents

Second game

∵ Bonzo has (50 x - 15) cents

∵ He paid 10¢ to get in

∴ The money left is (50 x - 15) - 10 = (50 x - 25)

∵ He spent half  the money he had left

∴ The money left with him = \frac{1}{2} (50 x - 25) = (25 x - 12.5) cents

∵ He spent 10¢  to get out

∴ The money left after 2nd game = (25 x - 12.5) - 10

∴ The money left after 2nd game = (25 x - 22.5) cents

Third game

∵ Bonzo has (25 x - 22.5) cents

∵ He paid 10¢ to get in

∴ The money left is (25 x - 22.5) - 10 = (25 x - 32.5)

∵ He spent half  the money he had left

∴ The money left with him = \frac{1}{2} (25 x - 32.5) = (12.5 x - 16.25) cents

∵ He spent 10¢  to get out

∴ The money left after 3rd game = (12.5 x - 16.25) - 10

∴ The money left after 3rd game = (12.5 x - 26.25) cents

∵ He found he had no money left after the 3rd game

∴ Equate the left money with him by zero

∴ 12.5 x - 26.25 = 0

- Add 26.25 to both sides

∴ 12.5 x = 26.25

- Divide both sides by 12.5

∴ x = 2.1

<em>Bonzo started with 2.1 dollars </em>

Part 2) 39 days

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Asheville

47.71 in

124 days

Wichita

28.61 in

85 days

Part 1) About how many more inches of rain did Asheville get than Wichita?

In this part subtract the number of inches of rain in Wichita from the number of inches of rain in Asheville

so

47.71-28.61=19.10\ in

Part 2) About how many more days did it rain in Asheville than Wichita?

n this part subtract the number of days of rain in Wichita from the number of days of rain in Asheville

so

124-85=39\ days
