Positive correlation means that if x goes up then y goes up, negative correlation means that if x goes up then y goes down. Since both x and y are increasing each time, it is positive.
13. $9 because 75%=3/4 and 1/4 of 12 is 3, and so you multiply $3 by 3 to get $9
14. Multiply 325 by .2 to get $65.00
15. 15 minutes, because if it rises 2 feet every hour, then it rises 1 foot every hour, and so you divide that by 2 to get 15
Answers:
13. $9
14. $65.00
15. 15 mins
Answer: interest at the end of 3 years is $495.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
P represents the principal
R represents interest rate
T represents time in years
I = interest after t years
From the information given
T = 3 years
P = $3,672
R = 4.5%
Therefore
I = (3672 × 4.5 × 3)/100
I = 49572/100
I = 495.72
Let, the height of the building be x ft.
Given the building casts 35ft shadow.
The height of the flagpole given which is 22ft and casts a shadow of 10ft.
Now to find the height of the building we have to equate the ratio of height and shadow of the building and the flagpole.
So we can write,
x/35 = 22/10
To find x, we have to get rid of 35 from the left side and have to move it to right side. As 35 is divided there, we will multiply 35 to both sides.
(x/35)× 35 = (22/10)×35
x = (22×35)/10
x = 770/10
x = 77
So, the height of the building is 77 ft which is the required answer here.
