Set up a ratio. But first convert the height of the puzzle to feet so we are comparing the same unit of measure.


STEP 1
convert 24 inches to feet

12 inches= 1 foot

24 inches= 2 feet


STEP 2
set up ratio.

= 2 feet/556 feet or 2:556
simplify both by 2

= 1 ft/278 ft or 1:278


ANSWER: 1/278 or 1:278 (can be written either way)

Hope this helps! :)

if I went to store with 90.00 and spent 36.81 and got 20% off what would I have left need answer fast thanks
vichka [17]
I'm guessing the 20 percent off is from the $36.81 so you take 36.81 times 0.80 making it $29.448. Take 90 dollars and minus that amount.

Answer: $60.552 
Rounded Answer: $60.55 or $60.60 or $61

Not sure if this helped, but yeah.....

On 1st January 2020, Laurie invests P dollars in an account that pays a nominal annual interest rate of 5.5%, compounded quarter
andrezito [222]

Answer:

1) The common ratio =  1.055

2) The year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double is the year 2032

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given information are;

The date Laurie made the investment = 1st, January, 2020

The annual interest rate of the investment = 5.5%

Type of interest rate = Compound interest

Therefore, we have;

The value, amount, of the investment after a given number of year, given as follows;

Amount in her account = a, a × (1 + i), a × (1 + i)², a × (1 + i)³, a × (1 + i)ⁿ

Which is in the form of the sum of a geometric progression, Sₙ given as follows;

Sₙ = a + a × r + a × r² + a × r³ + ... + a × rⁿ

Where;

n = The number of years

Therefore, the common ratio = 1 + i = r = 1 + 0.055 = 1.055

The common ratio =  1.055

2) When the money doubles, we have;

2·a = a × rⁿ = a × 1.055ⁿ

2·a = a × 1.055ⁿ

2·a/a = 2 = 1.055ⁿ

2 = 1.055ⁿ

Taking log of both sides gives;

㏒2 = ㏒(1.055ⁿ) = n × ㏒(1.055)

㏒2 = n × ㏒(1.055)

n = ㏒2/(㏒(1.055)) ≈ 12.95

The number of years it will take for the amount of money in Laurie's account to double = n = 12.95 years

Therefore, the year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double = 2020 + 12..95 = 2032.95 which is the year 2032

The year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double = year 2032.
