Using proportions, it is found that Juan spends 15 minutes on each 5-point problem.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and is solved using a rule of three.

In this problem, the amount of time is proportional to the amount of points the problem is worth. Hence, for a 5-point problem, in a 75-minute time, the time is given by:

t = 75/5 = 15 minutes.

What is 0.275 0.20 0.572 and 0.725 greatest to least
Andru [333]
.725 , .572 , .275, .2
You look at the first decimal place to see which is the greatest. 7 is greater than 5 and 2 so it's first. Then 5 is greater than 2 so it is next. For the last two numbers since 2 is the same value you look at the next decimal place. Since 7 is greater than 0 it comes next!

The first four stripes on a wall with 100 stripes are red , blue, white, and purple, These four colors repeat in the same order.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: the 55th stripe is white

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four stripes on a wall with 100 stripes are red , blue, white, and purple. The four colors repeat in the same order. This means that Red always follow blue which is followed by white and then purple. This means that red would always start each new and consecutive set of four stripes and purple will always end it

We want to determine the 55th stripe. The last four stripes that include 55 ends with the 56th stripe. This means that the 56th stripe is purple. Therefore, the 55th stripe would be white because it follows purple.
