yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;

your answer is

a.

5

step-by-step explanation:

question 1: step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 84 = 84÷4= 21

lr = 24

step-by-step explanation:

note that p is the midpoint of lr. to find the measurement of lr, set the equation:

lr = lp + pr

plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

lr = (15) + (9)

simplify:

lr = 24

24 is your measurement of lr.
