Simple interest is the interest calculated on the original amount of a loan or deposit, without taking into account any compound interest. To find the simple interest rate at which N1000 accumulates to N1240 in 3 years, we can use the formula for simple interest: I = Prt where I is the interest, P is the principal (original amount), r is the interest rate, and t is the time in years. We know that I = N1240 - N1000 = N240, and t = 3 years. So, we can plug in these values into the formula and solve for r: N240 = N1000 x r x 3 Dividing both sides by N1000 x 3, we get: r = N240 / (N1000 x 3) = 0.08 So, the interest rate is 8%. So, the answer is 8%.

The answer is (1020)3, which is equal to (1 * (3^3)) + (0 * (3^2)) + (2 * (3^1)) + (0 * (3^0)). In this question, each number is given in base-3 format, which means that each digit in the number represents a power of 3. For example, the number (212)3 is equal to (2 * (3^2)) + (1 * (3^1)) + (2 * (3^0)). To evaluate the expression, we simply add and subtract the numbers as written, and convert the result back to base-3 format.

The vertical height through which the surveyor rises can be calculated using trigonometry. When a person walks up a hill, they are moving in two dimensions: horizontally and vertically. We can use a right triangle to represent this movement, where the horizontal distance is one side, the vertical distance is another side, and the slope of the hill is the angle between these sides. In this case, the horizontal distance is 500m and the angle is 30 degrees, so we can use the trigonometric function sine to find the vertical distance: sin(30) = vertical distance / 500 Multiplying both sides by 500, we get: 500 * sin(30) = vertical distance Using a calculator, we can find that sin(30) = 0.5, so: 500 * 0.5 = 250 Therefore, the vertical height through which the surveyor rises is 250m.

The gradient of a line describes how steep the line is, and it can be calculated as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate between two points on the line. In this case, the two points are (-2, 0) and (0, -4), so the change in x is 0 - (-2) = 2, and the change in y is -4 - 0 = -4. Therefore, the gradient of the line passing through these two points is -4 ÷ 2 = -2. So, the answer is -2.

The size of each sector in a pie chart represents the proportion of the data it represents compared to the whole. In this case, the total number of acres for all the crops is 2 + 5 + 3 + 11 + 9 = 30. To find the angle of the sector for cassava, we need to find the proportion of 3 acres to 30 acres, and then convert this proportion to degrees. The proportion of 3 acres to 30 acres is 3/30 = 1/10. In a full circle, there are 360 degrees, so the angle of the sector representing 1/10 of the data would be 360 x (1/10) = 36 degrees. Therefore, the angle of the sector for cassava in a pie chart is 36 degrees.

Probability is the measure of how likely an event is to occur. In this question, we want to find the probability of selecting a prime number between 20 and 30, both numbers inclusive. The prime numbers between 20 and 30 are 23 and 29. The total number of possible outcomes (or numbers between 20 and 30) is 11 (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30). So, the probability of selecting a prime number is the number of favorable outcomes (prime numbers) divided by the total number of possible outcomes. The probability of selecting a prime number is 2/11. So, the answer is 2/11.

Since PQRS is quadrilateral

2y + 2x + QPS = 360o ${}^o$

i.e. (y + x) + QPS = 360o ${}^o$ 

QPS = 360o ${}^o$ - 2 (y + x)

But x + y + 68o ${}^o$ = 180o ${}^o$

There; x + y = 180o ${}^o$ - 68o ${}^o$ = 112o ${}^o$

QPS = 360 - 2(112o ${}^o$)

Let's call the number of students in the group "n". The total of the ages of all students is 15n. When the teacher's age is added, the total becomes 15n + 45. The mean of the ages becomes 18, which means the total of the ages is divided by the number of people, which is "n + 1". We can set up an equation to represent the situation: (15n + 45) / (n + 1) = 18 Expanding the equation: 15n + 45 = 18 * (n + 1) 15n + 45 = 18n + 18 Subtracting 18n from both sides: -3n + 45 = 18 Subtracting 45 from both sides: -3n = -27 Dividing both sides by -3: n = 9 So, there are 9 students in the group.

The sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is equal to (5-2) * 180 = 540 degrees. So, the equation 6x + 6y = 540 can be used to find the value of y in terms of x. Solving for y, we get y = 90 - x. This means that if we know the value of x, we can find the value of y by subtracting x from 90. So, the correct answer is y = 90 - x.

The total number of goals scored by all the teams can be calculated by multiplying the number of goals by its frequency and then adding all of them up. For example, the number of goals scored by teams with 0 goals is 4 * 0 = 0. The number of goals scored by teams with 1 goal is 3 * 1 = 3. The number of goals scored by teams with 2 goals is 15 * 2 = 30. And so on. So, the total number of goals scored by all the teams is 0 + 3 + 30 + 48 + 4 + 0 + 6 = 91. Therefore, the answer is 91.

The equation of a line can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. To find the equation of a line parallel to another line, we need to use the same slope. The line 7x + 5y = 12 can be rewritten in the form y = -(7/5)x + 12/5. The slope of this line is -(7/5). To find a line through the point (5, 7) with the same slope, we can use the point-slope form of a line, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope. Plugging in the values for (x1, y1) and m, we get: y - 7 = -(7/5)(x - 5) Expanding and simplifying, we get: y = -(7/5)x + 7 + (35/5) = -(7/5)x + 70/5 = 14x + 7. So the equation of the line through the point (5, 7) parallel to the line 7x + 5y = 12 is 7x + 5y = 70.
