Until june 2002, the simple interest rate on stafford loans to college students was 5.39% while the student was still in college. how much interest would a student pay on a 1500 loan for 2 years?

The interest paid by student is $ 161.7

Solution:

From given question,

Simple interest rate = 5.39 %

Principal amount of loan taken by a student = $1500

Number of years = 2

Interest = ?

The simple interest is given by formula:

Where,

"p" is the principal

"r" is the rate of interest

"n" is the number of years

Substituting the given values in formula,

Thus the interest paid by student is $ 161.7

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
