<u>Given</u>:

The given ratio is 16 : 12

We need to determine three ratios that are equivalent to the given ratio.

<u>Option A</u>: 8:6

The given ratio is 16 : 12

Let us divide the given ratio 16 : 12 by 2.

Thus, we have;

8:6

Hence, the expression 8:6 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Option B</u>: 32:24

The number 32 goes by 16 in 2 times and the number 24 goes by 12 in 2 times.

Thus, multiplying the ratio 16 : 12 by 2, we get;

32:24

Thus, the expression 32:24 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

<u>Option C</u>: 4:3

Let us divide the given ratio 16 : 12 by 4.

Thus, we have;

4:3

Thus, the expression 4:3 is equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

<u>Option D</u>: 12:8

The number 12 goes by 16 in \frac{3}{4} times and the number 8 goes by 12 in \frac{2}{3} times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression 12:8 is not equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

<u>Option E</u>: 24:16

The number 24 goes by 16 in 1.5 times and the number 16 goes by 12 in 0.75 times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression 24:16 is not equivalent to 16 : 12

Hence, Option E is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the equivalent ratios are Option A, B and C

Which statement shows how two polynomials 4x2 and x2 + 3x + 7 demonstrate the closure property when multiplied?
son4ous [18]
By definition we have to:
 A set has under an operation if performance of that operation on set members always produces a member of the same set; in this case we also say that the set is closed under the operation.
 For this case we have the following polynomials:
 4x ^ 2&#10;&#10;x ^ 2 + 3x + 7
 Multiplying we have:
 (4x ^ 2) (x ^ 2 + 3x + 7) = 4x ^ 4 + 12x ^ 3 + 28x ^ 2&#10;
 The product of two polynomials is also a polynomial.
 Answer:
 
d 4x ^ 4 + 12x ^ 3 + 28x ^ 2 is a polynomial

Gabriel invested $900 in an account paying an interest rate of 3 1/4 % compounded daily. Daniel invested $900 in an account payi
Helen [10]

Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

The earnings of Gabriel can be calculated with the formula:

P = Po * (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where P = 900, r = 0.0325, n = 365 and t = 19

So we have:

P = 900 * (1 + 0.0325/365)^(365*19) = $1,668.81

The earnings of Daniel can be calculated with the formula:

P = Po * e^(rt)

Where Po = 900, r = 0.03375 and t = 19

So we have:

P = 900 * e^(0.03375*19) = $1,708.97

So the amount that Daniel will have more than Gabriel is:

1708.97 - 1668.81 = $40.16

Rounding to nearest dollar, the difference is $40
