Proportions are very simple once you get the hang of them! What you do is cross multiple. :)

1. x/8=5/16

You first start by multiplying x and 16

Then multiply 5 and 8

So now you have 16x=40

Finally divide 16 from each side

You get: x+0.4!

2. 5/12=15/x

Remember to cross-multiply!

Now we have 5x=180

Next divide 5 from each side

You get: x=36!

a used truck for $4,500 he made an agreement with the dealer to put $1,500 and make payments of 350 for the next 10 months that
Aneli [31]
Ist amount paid = $1500
Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500
Total amount paid  = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the ten month period.
I = PRT
Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.Principal P = 4500
R = I /(PT)  R = 500 / (4500*5/6)
R = (500*6) / (4500*5)
R = 0.1333..
R ≈ 13.33 %  per annum.

Mandy has six boxes of pencils each box contains 10 to the fifth power of pencils how many pencils does Mandy have
Nonamiya [84]
You have to do 10•10•10•10•10 (multiply 10, 5 times). Once you multiply 10 five times, you end up with an answer of 100,000 pencils in each box. Then since you have 6 boxes of pencils you have to multiply 100,000•6, which equals 600,000 pencils total.

Sterile fruit flies are used in an experiment where the proportion that survives at least days is given by . if the experiment b
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

fruit flies at the beginning of the experiment = 200 fruit flies

rate of increase of fruit flies = 5 per hour

to calculate the number of flies after 14 days.

time = 14 days = 14 × 24 = 336 hours

flies after 14 days = initial number of flies + rate of increase  × time

                             = 200 + 5 × 336

                             = 1880 fruit flies.

hence,Number of fruit flies after 14 days is equal to 1880.
