Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion, with inches on the top and feet on the bottom for our scale.  We will find the actual length first, then we'll find the width.

\frac{in}{ft}:\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2.5}{x}

Cross multiply to get that the actual length is 5(2.5) = 12.5 feet.  Now for the width:

\frac{in}{ft}:\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{x}

Cross multiply to get that the actual width is 5(3) = 15 feet.

If you want the area of the room, multiply the length times the width to get

A = 15(12.5)

A = 187.5 feet squared

What is a possible value for the missing term in the geometric sequence? 18, _, 8
sp2606 [1]
13 because you do 18-8 and you get 10 and divide that by 2 and you get 5 then add 5 to 8 and you get 13 and subtract 5 from 18 and you get 13 as well. Hope that helps

Financial Algebra 1. Unit 1: Simple and Compound Interest Quiz A..
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$56,558.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question on compound interest.

The formula to calculate the Total Amount based on compound interest is given as:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

A = Total or Final amount in the account after t years

P = Principal/ Initial amount invested=$35,000

r = Interest rate = 12%

n = compounding Frequency = daily = using 30 days in a month = 30 × 12 = 360 days

t = time in years = 4

A = $35,000( 1 + 0.12/360)^360 × 4

A = $56558.08

Approximately to the nearest cent ≈ A = $56,558.1

Therefore, Priscilla should be expecting $56,558.1 in the account after 4 years.
