Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Take the inches over the money.

15 inches        x inches

--------------- = -----------

45 cents          24 cents

Using cross products

15*24 = x *45

Divide each side by 45

15*24/45 = x*45/45

8 =x

You can buy 8 inches

Answer:

8 inches of wire for 24 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. Find the amount it costs for 1 inch of wire. Divide 45 with 15:

45/15 = 3

1 inch of wire costs 3 cents.

Now, solve for the the amount of wire (x) you can get for 24 cents

(1/3)(8/8) = (x/24)

1 x 8 = 8

3 x 8 = 24

x = 8

8 inches of wire for 24 cents

You deposited $10,000 into a savings account at 6%. After a certain amount of time, you earned $4,800. How long did you have you
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

800 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest is:

(Capital * saving account * time) / 100

So:

(10000 * 0.06 * x) / (100) = 4800

We clear x:

(10000 * 0.06 * x) = (100) * 4800

x = 480,000 / (10000 * 0.06)

x = 800 months (66.67 years)
