Ezra loaned Monica $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
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 $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,100 + $77a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
The catalytic converter output consists primarily of:
water and carbon dioxide
The catalytic converter converts pollutants in exhaust gas into less pollutant substances like carbon dioxide and water.
Which of the following nuts use a pin to lock the nut in place and prevent it from loosening?
slotted
Wrenches are used with threaded fasteners like bolts and nuts. A bolt has external threads while a nut has internal threads and this thread pattern combination allows them to lock together and act as fasteners. Nuts come in a variety of configurations including wing nuts which provide appendages that allow tightening and loosening by hand, slotted nuts that use a cotter pin to lock the nut in place and prevent it from loosening, and lock nuts that also prevent loosening via nylon in their threads. Threads are identified by pitch which is the number of threads per inch.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles
