I came up with something but not sure at all, so if you don't get anything better, check with your teacher to see if it makes any sense!

After spendings Ruben deposits $32.5

So I ask;
After how many of Shawna's $37.5 deposit + $750 will be equal to how many of Ruben's $32.5 + $850

i.e. 37.5x + 750 = 32.5x + 850

37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750

5x = 100

x = 20 weeks

I check this Ruben = 32.5x20wks + 850 = 1500

for Shawna = 37.5x20wks + 750 = 1500

It actually checks out. Good luck..

A pie was cut into two equal pieces. Each of the pieces of pie was cut into halves again, and each of those smaller pieces was c
Verdich [7]

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you cut a whole pie into two you get two (2) ½ pieces

1 ÷ 2 = ½

When you cut the two ½ pieces into two you get four (4) ¼ pieces;

½ ÷ 2 = ¼

When you cut the four ¼ pieces into two you get 8 1/8 pieces;

¼ ÷ 2 = ¹/8

Therefore the whole pie at this point is made up of 8 ¹/8 pieces. When two (2) of these pieces are eaten we are left with 6 ¹/8 pieces;

8 – 2 = 6

The portion of the pie left therefore is;

6 * ¹/8 pieces

= ⁶/8

= ³/4

liubo4ka [24]

Sides of first rectangle are 12 inches and 6 inches

and sides of second rectangle are 10 inches and 5 inches

So to find the ration of sides we can do

Ratio of bases = 12/10 = 6/5

Ratio of altitudes = 6/5

Area of first rectangle = base * altitude = 12 *6 = 72 square inches
