Samantha works at a nursery where she pots plants. It takes her 1 1/2 hours to pot 12 plants. How many plants can she pot in 2 1/2 hours?

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how many plants Samantha can plant in half an hour. To figure that out do 12 divided by 3 because in 1.5 hours she can plant 12 plants.

12÷3=4

Samantha can plant 4 plants in half an hour. Since 2.5 hours in 1 more hour than 1.5 hours multiply 4 by 2 to get the total amount she can plant in one hour.

4 x 2 = 8

Samantha can plant 8 plants in an hour. Now add 8 to 12 because 12 plants is 1.5 hours and 8 plants is 1 hour and 1.5 + 1 = 2.5 hours.

8 + 12 = 20.

Samantha can plant 20 plants in 2.5 hours.

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.

the square root of what number? if you add that, then someone will probably answer the question.
