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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 7} \) = \( \frac{6}{56} \) = \(\frac{3}{28}\)

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.05 x $1,400

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{12} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
18\( \sqrt{3} \) + 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{67}{13} \) = 5\(\frac{2}{13}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.
