first you have to find the reciprocal for 2 / 5 can do that by flipping 2 / 5 you'll then get 5 / 2 now the rest is simple all you have to do is multiply 7/12 by 2/5 so you multiply 7 by 2 and you get 14 that's your numerator 10 divide 12 by 5 and you'll get 60 so now you have 14 / 60 7 / 30 now you simplify and you get
If we have a common ratio every set amount of time (and not a common difference or addition), this is an exponential relationship. An exponential equation would have a form like Money = (1000)(2)^(# of months), where every additional month would cause the money amount to double.
