Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.

Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of  4 Boys & 3 Girls

algol13

Answer:

£32 : £40

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 5 = 9 parts

Divide the amount by 9 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£72 ÷ 9 = £8 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

4 parts = 4 × £8 = £32

5 parts = 5 × £8 = £40

Then

£72 in the ratio 4 : 5 is £32 : £40

Answer:

 Investment amount after 9 years = 14715.12$

Explanation:

 It is given to use continuous change function, A(t) = Pe^{rt}

Here P = Principal = 10500$

          r = Rate of increase = 0.0375

          t = Number of years = 9

  A(t) = Pe^{rt}\\ \\ A(t) = 10500*e^{0.0375*9}=14715.12

 So, investment amount after 9 years = 14715.12$
