.1 is the rational number
We know there is 330 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce serving. So if we want 8-ounce servings:
330 mg : 2 = 165 mg
Also we have to consume a maximum of 600 mg.
165 mg * 3 = 495 mg < 600 mg
165 mg * 4 = 660 mg > 600 mg
Answer: Someone could drink 3 full 8-ounce servings in a day and still stay below the limit.
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
Probability of green= # of green marbles ÷ total # of marbles
= 6 ÷ (6 + 9)
= 0.4 OR
