Noa was walking in the forest and measured the circumference of two trees that he found. the first tree measured 37 5/8 inches around, and the second tree measured 45 1/3 inches around. noa wanted to find the difference of the circumferences of the two trees. he recorded his steps in the table.

step 1: 45 1/3- 37 5/8
step 2: 45 8/24 - 37 15/24
step 3: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24
step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

in which step did noa first make an error?

Step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

Here we can finally find out the mistake done by Noa. The result is 7 17/24 and not 8 17/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review carefully all the steps taken by Noa to calculate the difference of the circumferences of the two trees.

Circumference Tree 1 = 37 5/8 inches around

Circumference Tree 2 =  45 1/3 inches around

Step 1: 45 1/3- 37 5/8

The measures are correct, no issues copying them.

Step 2: 45 8/24 - 37 15/24

Noa looked for common denominators

1/3 * 8/8 = 8 /24 is correct; 5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24 is also correct.

Step 3: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24

Noa looked for making the fraction part higher on the left side:

45 8/24 = 44 32/24 is correct because 24/24 = 1

Step 4: 44 32/24 - 37 15/24= 8 17/24

Here we can finally find out the mistake done by Noa. The result is 7 17/24 and not 8 17/24.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
