(4 - -2) / (9 - 5) = 6/4 or 3/2
1. Stock Market:
If a stock price decreased $2 per day for four days, then the total change in value of the stock is $8. (2 x 4)
Answer: $8.
2. Evaporation:
With the given information, we can infer that if 3 inches of water in a tank decreases each week, then 15 inches of water would decrease over the course of 5 weeks. (3 x 5)
Answer: 15 inches.
3. Football:
If a football team lost 9 yards on 3 consecutive plays, then the team's total change in position is 27 yards. (9 x 3)
Answer: 27 yards.
Hope this helps! Good luck.
The annual returns will be calculated as follows:
a] Here we use the formula:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
A=future amount
p=principle
r=returns
n=time
We are given:
A=500, p=400, t=1
Plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
500=400(1+r)^1
simplifying and solving for r:
1.25=1+r
thus
r=1.25-1
r=0.25~25%
b] Using the formula above:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
A=2500+100=2600, p=2000, n=1 year
plugging the values in the equation we obtain:
2600=2000(1+r)^1
simplifying and solving for r we obtain:
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
hence
r=1.3-1
r=0.3~30%
You would be able to get 9 bags of grapes.
2 * 9 = 18
Hope this helps!
