Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why vehicles carrying inflammable materials have chains that hang down and drag on the ground, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Inflammable Materials**: - Inflammable materials are substances that can easily catch fire. This characteristic makes it crucial to prevent any potential ignition sources while transporting them. **Hint**: Think about the properties of the materials being transported and why they are labeled as inflammable. ...

A housing down payment is money that a prospective buyer provides up front when purchasing a home and is usually a percent of the purchase price of the home. A lender typically requires private mortgage insurance (PMI) when the buyer's down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price. To secure a mortgage buyers also need to have additional cash on hand for closing costs and prepaid property tax. Suppose a buyer wants to purchase a $375,000 house and must have $7,200 on hand for closing costs and property tax. Which of the following inequalities represents the total funds (f) the buyer must have on hand to secure the mortgage without having to pay PMI?
