So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:instead, try making the subscripts and superscripts stand out:
n-1
a = a * r
n n-1
Believe me, it's worth the extra work to do this!!
Given the sequence -3, -6, -12, -24, you can easily see that the first term,
a is -3. The common factor is 2. Note how (-3)*2=-6, and so on.
1
So, a = -3 and r=2.
1
So the formula for this geometric sequence is
n-1
a = -3*2

Answer:
Present value = $4,122.4
Accumulated amount = $4,742
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Amount at the Start of money flow = $1,000
Increase in amount is exponentially at the rate of 5% per year
Time = 4 years
Interest rate = 3.5% compounded continuously
Now,
Accumulated Value of the money flow = 
The present value of the money flow = 
= 
= ![1000\left [\frac{e^{0.015t}}{0.015} \right ]_0^4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1000%5Cleft%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Be%5E%7B0.015t%7D%7D%7B0.015%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D_0%5E4)
= ![1000\times\left [\frac{e^{0.015(4)}}{0.015} -\frac{e^{0.015(0)}}{0.015} \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1000%5Ctimes%5Cleft%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Be%5E%7B0.015%284%29%7D%7D%7B0.015%7D%20-%5Cfrac%7Be%5E%7B0.015%280%29%7D%7D%7B0.015%7D%20%5Cright%5D)
= 1000 × [70.7891 - 66.6667]
= $4,122.4
Accumulated interest = 
= 
= $4,742
