Hi there!
To get the answer to this question, let's divide the diameter of the Earth by the diameter of Mercury.

We can change this to

Let's solve for each individual fraction

≈ 0.27

= 10
Now, multiply.
0.27 * 10 = 2.7
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day/night! :)

Answer:
The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.
Step-by-step explanation:
The compound interest formula is given by:

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.
In this problem, we have that:

So


The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.
This statement is true, or else you wouldn't have a sphere.
Absolute value is simply the non-negative version of the number regardless of its symbol
So for the absolute value of 20? the answer is just 20.
For reference, the absolute value of -20 is also just 20.
Hope the explanation helps :)
