Selection D is the equivalent form of the given expression.
_____
The nominal annual interest rate in this problem is 40%. If it were compounded half-yearly, the formula would be x(1.2)^(2t) or x(1.44)^t. Apparently, this problem is more concerned with the equivalent form of the expression than it is with half-yearly compounding.
Answer:
16:12
Step-by-step explanation:
if there is 12 boys, that leaves the other 16 to be girls
Lets go step by step and factor out each as we go
first lets factor out a 3 since 3 is common in 9 and 3
3(3ab^2 - abc)
now lets factor out a since its common in both
3a(3b^2 - bc)
now lets factor out a b since its common in both
3ab(b - c)
we can't factor anything else out so we are done.
