A board is 48 in long. It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length, and each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in. How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

answer: it's upside down and i can't read it

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
