Fernando and maria are at opposite sides of a park. they plan to meet later at a fountain that is located somewhere between them. maria will arrive at the fountain first, before fernando even leaves his starting location. the ratio of maria's starting location to the fountain to fernando's starting place is 5: 3. what is the location of the fountain? round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Lines can be divided in ratios.

The coordinates of the fountain is (-1,-0.5)

From the graph, we have the following coordinate points

The ratio is given as:

The coordinates of the fountain is calculated using:

So, we have:

Hence, the coordinates of the fountain is (-1,-0.5)

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
