Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
12 divided by 4 is 3. Therefor 1/4 of 12 is 3.
I find it convenient to look at the differences and the rate at which those differences are made up.
8. Jim is closing the $150 gap at the rate of $7.50 per week. He will catch up in
... 150/(7.5/week) = 20 weeks
9. At noon, the price of Stock A has increased by 0.05×3 = 0.15, so is now $15.90, which is $0.63 more than Stock B at that time. The prices are closing the gap at the rate of $0.05 +0.13 = $0.18 per hour, so will be the same after
... $0.63/($0.18/hour) = 3.5 hours . . . . after noon, at 3:30 pm

You can also write and solve equations for the prices of the stocks. Or you can use a graphing calculator to tell you the solution. When equations are involved, I like to solve them the simplest possible way: let technology do it.
You are given the value at a time, and the rate of change of that value, so the equations are easily written in point-slope form. You will note that the common price at 3:30 pm (15.5 hours after midnight) is one that is not a whole number of cents. (That's usually OK for when trading stocks.)
D. spread through the body through a process called melanoma
The instructor wants the profit to be positive, so
f(n) > 0
70n -400 > 0
n - 400/70 > 0
n > 5 5/7
The instructor must enroll at least 6 students to make a profit.
Ok so we want to cross multiply.
To do this you know 4/9=2$ so now you want to know 1=x$
When you do this you get $5
