Answer:

318 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between Bill and fulcrum.

We have been given that Laura has a mass of 60 kg and is sitting 265 cm from the fulcrum of a seesaw. Bill has a mass of 50 kg.

To balance the seesaw, the product of Laura's weight and her distance from fulcrum of seesaw should be equal to the product of Bill's weight and his distance from fulcrum of seesaw as:

50\text{ kg}\cdot x=60\text{ kg}\cdot 265\text{ cm}

\frac{50\text{ kg}\cdot x}{50\text{ kg}}=\frac{60\text{ kg}\cdot 265\text{ cm}}{50\text{ kg}}

x=\frac{6\cdot 265\text{ cm}}{5}

x=\frac{6\cdot 53\text{ cm}}{1}

x=318\text{ cm}

Therefore, Billy should be 318 cm far from the fulcrum to balance the seesaw.

Use systems of equations to solve the problem.
S_A_V [24]
X + y = 180
Y = wheat, x = oats
Y = x + 20. In the 1st equation, get y by itself getting y = 180 - x.
So 180 - x = x + 20. Subtract x on both sides to get 180 - 2x is 20. Subtract 180 to both sides is -2x = -160. Divide -2 to both sides is x = 80. So 80 + 20 is 100 wheat, and 80 oats of acres.

Therefore, the interest rate is fixed for a period of time and then it varies based on the index it is tied to. This index is set by market situation.

Then, keeping this on mind, the correct answer is the option B, which is: The interest rate may change depending on the condition of the economy.
