Duane adds $5 to the piggy bank every other week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Duane adds $2.50 to the piggy bank every week.
Mick adds $2 to the piggy bank every week.

Every week, Duane and Mick put in a total of $4.50.

In x weeks, they have saved $45.00

In one week, they have saved $4.50
In x week, they have saved $45.00

We can make a proportion and solve it.

\frac{1}{4.5} = \frac{x}{45}

After cross multiplying we get

4.5x = 45

Solving for 'x' we get:

x = 10

Mick and Duane have been saving their money for 10 weeks

The have been saving for 10 weeks.

Given:
Duane = $5 every other week. meaning every 2 weeks
Mick = $2 every week
Amount Saved = $45

First, divide Duane's $5 by 2 to get his weekly contribution.
$5/2 = $2.50

let x be the number of weeks.

Duane + Mick = $45
2.50x + 2x = 45
4.50x = 45
4.50x/4.50 = 45/4.50
x = 10 weeks

to check:
2.50x + 2x = 45
2.50(10) + 2(10) = 45
25 + 20 = 45
45 = 45

Answer number 14. It’s very difficult for me and i need some help.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

1201.2 in (100.1ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model represents a ratio. All sides must be shrunk or increased based on a constant value. In this case the ratio of the model is 1/13 the size of the original giving us a 1:13 ratio. So each side of your scale model must be multiplied by 13 to find the real value of the side.

First convert all units to inches then divide the width of the real windmill by the width of the scale model (both in inches) you will see the answer is 13. Multiply the inch values of all sides of your model by 13 and this gives you the proportional value of each side of the real windmill in relation to the scale model.
