1/3 of 3/2 of 4/5 would be 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
No correlation
In this problem, you are looking at a pair of similar trapezoids. So we must be looking for a ratio between a side in the smaller trapezoid and the corresponding side in the bigger trapezoid. We are given the lengths of AB and EF, which we can use to find this ratio.
But before we do anything we must convert units so that all units are the same. Let's convert the 60 feet into inches. 60 feet is 720 inches.
Next, set up the ratio I mentioned earlier. If we set up the ratio so that it is smaller:larger, we would get 4:720, which simplifies to 1:180. Basically what this ratio says is that every 1 inch in the smaller trapezoid corresponds to 180 inches in the bigger trapezoid. Now we can use this ratio to find the lengths of the sides in the bigger trapezoid. Just multiply all the lengths of the smaller trapezoid by 180 to get the lengths for the bigger trapezoid. Finally, when we have all our side lengths, divide them all by 12 (because 12 inches in 1 foot) to get the measurements in feet.
From here, I'll let you find the total length yourself.
8 - 5p = 2 - 3p
Move the terms
= -5p + 3p = 2-8
Collect like terms (calculate)
= -2p = -6
Divide both sides
p = 3 (Final Answer)
Answer:
Therefore the amount in the 4% savings account = $550
Step-by-step explanation:
i) the total amount = $1500
ii) let the amount placed in the 4% interest savings account = x
iii) let the amount placed in the 5% interest savings account = y
iv) therefore fro i) we can say x + y = 1500
v) the total interest gained = $69.5
vi) therefore we can write 0.04x + 0.05y = 69.50
vii) multiplying equation vi) with 100 we get 4x + 5y = 6950
viii) Multiplying the equation in iv) by 5 we get 5x + 5y = 7500
ix) Subtracting equation in vii) from equation in viii) we get x = $550
x) Therefore the amount in the 4% savings account = $550
