A box contains 16 cherry fruit chews, 15 peach fruit chews, and 12 Plumford choose. Which two flavors are in the ratio 5 to 4?

1 answer:

5 0

A couple of different ways to solve this.

Build ratio 5/4
Multiply by 2/2 to get equivalent, which is 10/8 - this does not match any possible solution.
Now do 5/4 * 3/3 to get 15/12. This works, so the answer is 15 peach fruit chews/12 plumb fruit chews.

Trial and error method.

A house purchased for $216,500 gains 2% of its value every year. If this growth rate continues, in how many years will the house

NikAS [45]

Answer: 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Rule of 72 to calculate how long it might take the house to double in value.

The Rule of 72 works by dividing 72 by the interest rate as a whole number and the result will be a rough estimate of the time in years it will take for the investment to double in size:

= 72 / 2

= 36 years
