A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer: 58.1 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Use proportion to solve peroblem.
30:249=7:x
30x=249*7
x=249*7/30
x=58.1 pounds
There are 7 faces, 12 edges and 24 vertices in a hexagonal pyramid.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the accrued amount from compound interest is
1. Amount in account on 1 Jan 2015
(a) Data:
a = £23 517.60
r = 2.5 %
n = 1
t = 1 yr
(b) Calculations:
r = 0.025
The amount that gathered interest was £22 944.00 but, before the interest started accruing, Carol had withdrawn £1000 from the account.
She must have had £23 944 in her account on 1 Jan 2015.
(2) Amount originally invested
(a) Data
A = £23 944.00
3. Summary
1 Jan 2014 P = £23 360.00
1 Jan 2015 A = 23 944.00
Withdrawal = <u> -1 000.00
</u>
P = 22 944.00
1 Jan 2016 A = £23 517.60
