Answer:

a = 14.73

Step-by-step explanation:

This ratio can also be written like this:

$\frac{a}{27} = \frac{6}{11}$

Then you can cross multiply to get

11a = 6 x 27

11a = 162

Divide both sides by 11

11a / 11 = 162 / 11

a = 14.73

Justin bought some yarn from his favorite craft store. He can make one scarf with 3/5 of a ball of yarn. If he purchases 15 ball

Elena L [17]

He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Yarn used for one scarf = $\frac{3}{5}$ of a ball

Yarn purchased = 15 balls

Let,

x be the number of scarves.

Yarn used for one scarf*number of scarves = Yarn purchased

$\frac{3}{5}x=15$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{5}{3}*\frac{3}{5}x=15*\frac{5}{3}\\x=\frac{75}{3}\\x=25$

He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.

An ostrich can run 25 miles in 40 minutes. How many minutes will it take the ostrich

DiKsa [7]

It will take the Ostrich 64 minutes to run 40 miles, at the same speed

The distance-time ratio is given as:

Distance : Time = 25 miles : 40 minutes

When the distance is 40 miles, the ratio equation becomes

40 miles : Time = 25 miles : 40 minutes

Express as fraction

$\frac{Time}{40} = \frac{40}{25}$

Multiply both sides by 40

$Times = \frac{40}{25} * 40$

Solve for times

$Time =64$

Hence, it will take 64 minutes to run 40 miles

Maria invest 16,000 at 9% simple interest for five years. What is the total amount in the account at the end of the five year pe

Margarita [4]

Answer:
23,200

Explanation:
Use the formula for the amount after simple interest:
A = P(1 + rt)
“A” is the (final) amount.
“P” is the principal, or starting amount.
“r” is the interest rate in decimal form.
“t” is time, usually in years.

We are given the following:
P = 16,000
r = 9% = 0.09
t = 5
We are solving for “A”.

Substitute values for “P”, “r” and “t” into the formula to find “A”.
A = P(1 + rt)
A = 16,000(1 + (0.09)(5))
Simplify brackets first
A = 16,000(1 + 0.45)
A = 16,000(1.45)
A = 23,200

Therefore, the total amount in the account at the end of the five year period is 23,200.
