At the same time of day, a woman who is 78 inches tall casts a 63-inch shadow and her son casts a 21-inch shadow. What is the son's height? *

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

26in

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of the people in relation to their shadow lengths are proportional.

78in/63in = x/21in

The child's shadow is 1/3 the length of his mom so his height is 1/3 of hers.

78/3 = 26 in

Answer 2

Answer:

The son is 26 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{x}{21} = \frac{78}{63}[/tex]

           

[tex]x= \frac{21x78}{63}[/tex]

21x78= 1638

1638÷63=26

Hope this helps

6/24 divided by 12/16 show work please

Answers

1/3


6/24= 1/4
12/16=3/4

(1/4)/(3/4)= 0.3333 repeated which is 1/3

The value when 6/24  is divided by 12/16 is equal to 1/3.

To divide the fraction 6/24 by 12/16, we can simplify the problem by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Reciprocal of 12/16 is 16/12.

So, the division can be written as:

6/24 ÷ 12/16 = 6/24 × 16/12

6/24 = (6 ÷ 6) / (24 ÷ 6) = 1/4

16/12 = (16 ÷ 4) / (12 ÷ 4) = 4/3

Now, we have:

1/4 × 4/3

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(1 × 4) / (4 × 3)

= 4/12

The fraction 4/12 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

(4 ÷ 4) / (12 ÷ 4)

= 1/3

Therefore, 6/24 divided by 12/16 is equal to 1/3.

Determine the number of solutions you will have for the system 4y + x = 16 and y = 4 – x.

Answers

Equaling both equations, it is found that the correct option that states the number of solutions you will have for the system is:

D: one solution

The equations are:

[tex]4y + x = 16 \rightarrow x = 16 - 4y[/tex]

[tex]y = 4 - x \rightarrow x = 4 - y[/tex]

Equaling both equations for x, we have that:

[tex]16 - 4y = 4 - y[/tex]

[tex]3y = 12[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y = 4[/tex]

[tex]x = 4 - y = 4 - y = 0[/tex]

Hence, the system has one solution, which is (0,4), and option d is correct.

a1 = 3 and r = -5 so:

Plugging in 8 for n (the first choice) we get the given term: -234,375

Answer:

(d)  2 +(-5) +(-12) +... (a)  a8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Putting n = 0 and n = 1 into the expression being summed will show you which series is correct.

  2 -7n for n=0 is 2 -7·0 = 2

  2 -7n for n=1 is 2 -7·1 = -5

The series of the last choice (d) is correct.

__

2.

The given sequence is exponential with a first term of 3 and a common ratio if -5. Then the n-th term is ...

  an = 3(-5)^(n -1)

We want to find n for an = -234,375.

  -234375 = 3(-5)^(n-1)

  -78125 = (-5)^(n-1)

For n to be a real number, we must have n even. In that case, the value of n is equivalent to the value that is the solution to ...

  78125 = 5^(n -1)

Taking logs of both sides, we get ...

  log(78125) = (n -1)·log(5)

  log(78125)/log(5) = n -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by log(5)

  n = 1 +log(78125)/log(5) = 1 +7 = 8 . . . add 1 and evaluate

-234,375 is the 8th term of the sequence.

bank...
a) Calculates the interest using simple interest (I -- Prt).
b) Calculates the interest using compound interest compounded annually.
c) Calculates the interest using compound interest compounded quarterly.
d) Calculates the interest using compound interest compounded monthly.

Answers

The simple interest earned is  $17,000.

The interest earned with annual compounding is $25,978.13.

The interest earned with quarterly compounding is $26,583.59.

The interest earned with monthly compounding is $26,722.72.

The formula that can be used to determine simple interest is: principal x time x interest rate

$20,000 x 20 x 0.0425 = $17,000

The formula that can be used to determine the interest earned with compounding is: Future value - amount invested.

The formula that can be used to determine future value is:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

m = number of compounding

N = number of years

Annual compounding = $20,000 x (1.0425)^20 = $45,978.13

Interest earned = $45,978.13 - $20,000 =  $25,978.13

Quarterly compounding = $20,000 x (1 + 0.0425/4)^80 = $46,583.59

Interest earned = $46,583.59  - $20,000 = $26,583.59

Monthly compounding = $20,000 x (1 + 0.0425 /12) ^240 = $46,722.72

Interest earned = $46,722.72 - $20,000 = $26,722.72

Alpha and Beta Companies can borrow for a five-year term at the following rates: Alpha Beta Moodys credit rating Aa Baa Fixed-rate borrowing cost 10.5% 12.0% Floating-rate borrowing cost LIBOR LIBOR + 1% This time assuming more realistically that a swap bank is involved as an intermediary. Assume the swap bank is quoting five-year dollar interest rate swaps at 10.7% - 10.8% against LIBOR flat. Consequently, Alpha will issue fixed-rate debt at 10.5% and Beta will issue floating rate-debt at LIBOR + 1%. Alpha will receive 10.7% from the swap bank and pay it LIBOR. Beta will pay 10.8% to the swap bank and receive from it LIBOR. If this is done, Alphas floating-rate all-in-cost is: 10.5% + LIBOR - 10.7% = LIBOR - .20%, a .20% savings over issuing floating-rate debt on its own. Betas fixed-rate all-in-cost is: LIBOR+ 1% + 10.8% - LIBOR = 11.8%, a .20% savings over issuing fixed-rate debt. Is that analysis correct?
