Using proportions, the approximate length of time, in years, for the watch to lose exactly 24 hours is:

(d) 240.

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

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

24 hours have 24 x 3600 = 86400 seconds, hence the <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

One second - 1/365 year

86400 seconds - x years

Applying cross multiplication:

x = 86400/365

x = 240.

Hence option D is correct.

What is the sum of the first 39 positive odd numbers?
liq [111]
1-39 ODD:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39
Now you'd add them all up.
1+3+5+7+9 = 25
11+13+15+17+19 = 75
21+23+25+27+29 = 125
31+33+35+37+39 = 175
Add the totals:
25+75+125+175
The answer would be 400.

Using Ratios"a
Margaret [11]
In terms of better deal, we know that we want less money per hour.  to find this we compute danny's cost per hour and martin's cost per hour of lessons and compare the 2.  
Danny: 35/3 = 11.67 dollars/hour
martin: 24/2 = 12 dollars/hour
this means Danny has the better deal since his cost per hour is lower.

note that we could have also computed how many hours of lesson per dollar and in that cause the bigger number would be considered the better deal.
Danny: 3/35 = 0.086
martin: .083
this means danny has the better deal (like before!) because you get more hours of swimming lessons with 1 dollar.

although i think to choose a swim coach we have to look at his abilities as well not just how much he charges XD...sorry i got carried away.
