Compare corresponding sides
DE/LM = 15/6

Then simplify the ratio
DE/LM = 5/2
DE/LM = 2.5/1

The scale factor of dilation is 2.5:1

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill &\$14045\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$12500\\ r=rate\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &2 \end{cases}$

$\bf 14045=12500\left(1+\frac{r}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}\implies \cfrac{14045}{12500}=(1+r)^2\implies \cfrac{2809}{2500}=(1+r)^2 \\\\\\ \sqrt{\cfrac{2809}{2500}}=1+r\implies \cfrac{53}{50}=1+r\implies \cfrac{53}{50}-1=r\implies \cfrac{3}{50}=r \\\\\\ 0.06=r\implies \stackrel{\textit{converting it to percent format}}{0.06\cdot 100=r}\implies \stackrel{\%}{6}=r$

Blizzard [7]

Answer: The answer is...

9 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the fractions by first finding a common denominator. Then, write equivalent fractions, subtract the whole numbers and the numerators. Write the answer in simplest form.

15 2/3- 6 1/2

15 4/6 - 6 3/6= 9 1/6

Mercedes has 9 1 /6 inches of ribbon left.

Paraphin [41]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$2\\
P=\textit{original amount}\to& \$25\\
r=rate \\
t=years\to &\frac{1}{2}
\end{cases}$

bearing in mind, "t" is in years, 6months is just 1/2 year

solve for "r", you'd get a decimal amount, multiply times 100, to get the percentage form
