Answer:

a. 15/16 tons or 0.9375 tons

b. 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

There are 3 hours from 9 am to noon

Convert 2 1/2 to 5/2 or 2.5

Set up a proportion: \frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{x}{3}

Cross-multiply: 5/2 * 3 = 8x → 15/2 = 8x

Divide 15/2 by 8 = 15/2 * 1/8 = 15/16

b. Establish another proportion

\frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{17}{y}

Cross-multiply: (5/2) y = 8*17 → (5/2) y = 136

Divide 136 by 5/2 = 136 * 2/5 = 54 2/5 hours

1 workday = 8 hours

Therefore, 54 2/5 hours / 8 hours = 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

A new car is purchased for 20300 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 9.5% per year. What will the value of the car be,
Svet_ta [12734]
The initial value stands at 20,300, decreasing annually by 9.5%.

Given that it decreases by 9.5% each year based on the preceding amount, we can apply an exponential decay model.

A 9.5% reduction means multiplying by 91.5% every year.

We express this mathematically. Plugging in 11 years for t yields.

A(t)=23000(0.915)^{t}\\\\A(11)=23000(0.915)^{11}\\\\A(11)=7671.18

$7,671.18
