Answer:

The fraction of the souvenirs purchased at the zoo's gift shop on Tuesday that were stuffed bears is \frac{4}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the fraction of the souvenirs bought at the zoo's gift shop on Tuesday were bears, the fraction \frac{10}{21} (the amount of stuffed animals bought) is multiplied by \frac{14}{25} (number of stuffed animals bought as souvenier. It represents that, of the total of the stuffed animals purchased, \frac{10}{21} are bears while the rest of the animals purchased can be any other animal.

\frac{10}{21} *\frac{14}{25}

The multiplication of two or more fractions is done "online". That is, the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second.

<em>\frac{10}{21} *\frac{14}{25} =\frac{10*14}{21*25} =\frac{140}{525}</em>

Fractions need to be reduced (or simplified), that is, to be transformed into a simpler equivalent fraction. If the numerator and denominator have a common factor (that is, both can be divided by the same number), you can reduce the fraction using that number. It can be done as many times as possible. When it can no longer be divided, what is called the irreducible fraction is reached, that is, a fraction that cannot be simplified or reduced further.  In this case the fraction \frac{140}{525} will be reduced:

It is divided by 5:

\frac{140 : 5}{525 : 5} =\frac{28}{105}

It is divided by 7:

\frac{28 : 7}{105 : 7} =\frac{4}{15}

So

<em>\frac{140}{525} =\frac{4}{15}</em>

<u><em> The fraction of the souvenirs purchased at the zoo's gift shop on Tuesday that were stuffed bears is \frac{4}{15}</em></u>

That'd be 10/21 of the souvenirs purchased, or (10/21)(14/25).  This is 

2*5      2*7          4
----- * ------- = --------- after reduction of the fractions.
3*7      5*5         15

WITCHER [35]
Well how long is the ribbon? I'm not asking for the dollar amount, I will answer your question if you can tell me the length of the ribbon. No one can figure it out unless you give the total length.

The balance on a credit card, that charges a 15.5%APR interest rate, over a 1 month period is given inthe following table:Days 1
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

First step is to get the average daily balance.

Take the sum of each day's balances.

If a payment has been made, the sign will be negative.

From Days 1 - 5 :

Day 1 = $200

Day 2 = $200

...

Day 5 = $200

That's $200 x 5 days = $1000

From Days 6 - 20 :

Day 6 = $350

Day 7 = $350

...

Days 20 = $350

That's $350 x 15 days = $5250

From Days 21 - 30 :

Day 21 = $150

Day 22 = $150

...

Day 30 = $150

That's $150 x 10 days = $1500

A total of :

$1000 + $5250 + $1500 = $7750

Now divide this total to the number of days to get the ADB or Average Daily Balance.

\text{ADB}=\frac{7750}{30}=258.33

Next Step is to calculate for the finance charge using the formula :

\text{Charge}=\text{ADB}\times r\times d

where ADB is the average daily balance

r is the interest rate per day

d is the number of days or period given

From the problem, APR is 15.5%, it means that we need to divide the APR by 365 days.

So r = 0.155/365 = 0.000425

And we have d = 30 days

The charge will be :

Charge = 258.33 x 0.000425 x 30 = $3.29

The answer is $3.29
