There are 0.015 kilograms in 15 grams. Since each can weighs 0.015 kg and the payment rate is 50p per kilogram, 0.015 multiplied by 66 amounts to 1 kilogram! Therefore, 66 cans are needed to generate one kilogram. As a result, earning £15 would mean that with 2 kg equating to one dollar, then 15 multiplied by 2 equals 30. Consequently, 66 times 30 gives 1980!

66 relates to each kilogram, and 30 indicates how many 50p are required for one dollar!

Thus, to obtain £15, Adam has to recycle a total of 1980 cans!

Estimate the unit rate to the nearest hundredth.<br><br> $1.19 per 12fl oz price of 1 fl oz
Zina [12379]
To determine the unit rate, divide 1.19 by 12, which gives the cost per ounce. 1.19/12 =.099 per ounce. Since this involves currency, round your answer to two decimal places unless stated otherwise. Rounding.099 results in $0.10 per ounce.

Calvin deposits $400 in a savings account that accrues 5% interest compounded monthly. after c years, calvin has $658.80. makayl
lawyer [12517]
To calculate this, a specific formula will be necessary. Years = log (total/principal) / [n * log (1 + rate / n)]. Part A) For Calvin: $400 at 5% monthly results in $658.80; Time =? Monthly compounding, n = 12. Thus, Years = log(658.80/400) / [12 * log(1+ (.05/12))]. Subsequently, Years = log( 1.647) / (12 * log(1.0041666667)). Then, Years = 0.21669359917 / 12 * 0.0018058008777. Thus resulting in Years = 0.21669359917 / 0.0216696105. Ultimately, Years ≈ 9.999884362. Part B) For Makayla: $300 at 6% quarterly yields $613.04; Time=? Quarterly compounding, n = 4. Therefore, Years = log(613.04/300) / [4 * log (1 +.06/4)]. This results in Years = log(2.0434666667) / (4 * log(1.015)). Years thus equals 0.31036755784 / (4 * 0.0064660422492), resulting in Years ≈ 11.9999044949. The approximate difference is about 3 years.

Zaid has a peculiar pair of four-sided dice. When he rolls the dice, the probability of any particular outcome is proportional t
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:   a) \bold{\dfrac{3}{16}}     b) \bold{\dfrac{1}{36}}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To achieve an even total, there are 3 possible combinations:

1) Even, Even, Even, Even     \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

2) Even, Even, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

3) Odd, Odd, Odd, Odd   \dfrac{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}{6^4} \quad = \dfrac{3^4}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{16}

Order is irrelevant

Summing these yields your final result: \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{16}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{3}{16}}

b) If one die shows a 2 and another a 3, while the remaining two can show any digits, there’s only one way to get a 2, one way for a 3, and six potential numbers for each of the other two dice.

\dfrac{1\times 1\times 6\times 6}{6^4}\quad =\dfrac{1}{6^2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{36}}
