James invested $300 in a bank account that earns simple interest. He earns $24 at the end of 12 months. James invests $500 at the same rate for 12 months. How much money will James receive on his $500 investment after 12 months

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

The key formula to use for this problem is the simple interest formula, which is ; where I is the interest earned, p is the principal (initial) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time that passes.

Since we know that both investments have the same interest rate, we can use the information from the first part of the problem to solve for the interest rate. Using algebra, we can rearrange the simple interest formula to solve for the interest rate:  . We know that our interest earned is $24 and our principal amount is $300. To make things easier, we'll also convert months to years, which is easy to do since we know that 12 months = 1 year. This gives us our value for the amount of time that passes. Now, all we have to do is plug in our values into the rearranged equation above.

We should now have:

Now, to find the interest earned from the $500 investment, we just need to plug in our values from the second part of the problem, along with our calculated interest rate of 0.08, into the original formula of

This should result in

Therefore, James will receive $40 on his $500 investment after 12 months.

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
