<span>As you have two fractions, you can cross multiply them. This gives: x/a = y/b to ay = xb. Then divide both sides by b to isolate x: ay/b = x.</span>

A car travels 17 miles on one gallon of gas
zmey [24]

When x =170, y =10, when x = 187, y = 1, when x = 204, y = 12, when x = 221, y = 13, when x = 238, y = 14, when x = 255, y = 15, when x = 272, y = 16, when x = 289, y = 17, when x = 306, y = 18, when x = 323, y = 19, when x = 340, y = 20,

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume y is the gallons in the tank while x is the range of the car. We need to determine the equation relating the y to the x values in the given coordinates. x is the dependent value whereas y is the independent value i.e. the value of x depends on the value of y.

Step 2; As y increases, x also increases. For every extra gallon in the tank, the car can go another 17 miles. So with y as the amount of gas in the tank in gallons and x as the range of vehicle, we get;

x = 17y, this represents the relation between x and y.

To find the gallons in the tank, y = \frac{x}{17},

For x = 170, y = \frac{170}{17} = 10,

Similarly equating the values we get that when x = 187, y = 11,

when x = 204, y = 12,

when x = 221, y = 13,

when x = 238, y = 14,

when x = 255, y = 15,

when x = 272, y = 16,

when x = 289, y = 17,

when x = 306, y = 18,

when x = 323, y = 19,

when x = 340, y = 20,

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your
Fofino [41]

Answer:

y = 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The expected rate of return for risky portfolio E(r_p) = 0.18

- The T-bill rate is r_f = 0.08

Find:

Investing proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%.

What is the proportion y?

Solution:

- The proportion y is a fraction of expected risky portfolio and the left-over for the T-bill compliance. Usually we see a major proportion is for risky portfolio as follows:

                                     E(r_c) = y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f

                                     y*E(r_p) + (1 - y)*r_f = 0.16

- Re-arrange for proportion y:

                                     y = ( 0.16 - r_f ) / (E(r_p) - r_f)

- Plug in values:

                                    y = ( 0.16 - 0.08 ) / (0.18 - 0.08)

                                    y = 0.80

- Hence, we see that 80% of the total investment budget becomes a part of risky portfolio returns.
