<em><u>The equation can be used to find the actual length of Gregory's room is:</u></em>

\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The scale that he uses is:

1 cm : 4 feet

On this drawing, the room is 3 cm long

Let "x" be the actual length of room

Therefore,

1 cm : 4 feet

3 cm : "x" feet

This forms a proportion. Therefore,

\frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }

Therefore, Option C is correct

Given that,

Rob chose A as the correct answer. Which is,

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{3}

But option A is wrong

So, Rob made a mistake in measuring the equivalent ratio, it should be \frac{1\ cm}{4\ feet } = \frac{3\ cm }{x\ feet }

Janet deposited $9,600 into an account that pays 4.4 interest, compounded daily. At the end of nine months, how much interest ha
neonofarm [45]

bearing in mind that 9 months is not even a year, but since there are 12 months in a year, then 9 months is really 9/12 years.


\bf ~~~~~~ \stackrel{\textit{daily}}{\textit{Continuously}} \textit{Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$9600\\ r=rate\to 4.4\%\to \frac{4.4}{100}\dotfill &0.044\\ t=years\to \frac{9}{12}\dotfill &\frac{3}{4} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=9600e^{0.044\cdot \frac{3}{4}}\implies A=9600e^{0.033}\implies A\approx 9922.09 \\\\\\


\bf \stackrel{\textit{interest earned}}{9922.09-9600\implies 322.09}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the first two have an infinite number of solutions because when we try to solve, we get a true statement. The first one is done for you below.

-6x + 7 = -6x + 7 ------> Add 6x to both sides

7 = 7 (TRUE STATEMENT)

We can tell the next two have no solution due to the fact that they develop a false statement when trying to solve.

-3x + 7 = 3x + 7 ----> Subtract 7 from both sides

-3x = 3x ---> Divide by 3

-x = x (UNTRUE STATEMENT)
