Answer:

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of puzzle : time taken

= 3/4 : 7/8

How much a puzzle can she complete in an hour?

Let

x = number of puzzle to complete

Number of puzzle : time taken

= x : 1

Equate both ratios to solve for x

3/4 : 7/8 = x : 1

3/4 ÷ 7/8 = x / 1

3/4 × 8/7 = x / 1

24/28 = x / 1

Cross product

24 * 1 = 28 * x

24 = 28x

x = 24/28

= 6/7

x = 6/7 of a puzzle

Matt and Cat win £120 on the lottery and decide to share the winning ratio 1:2

8_murik_8 [283]

The way to work out how much each person gets is to find out how much one part is worth.

We can do this by adding the ratio (1:2) which gives us 3.

Divide £120 by 3 parts and you get £40 as one part.

Because the ratio is one part : two parts, Matt gets £40 and Cat gets £80.

Riley adds 45.3 and 3.21 should his sum be greater than or less than 48 tell how you know

Romashka [77]

His sum should be more than 48.

I know because if you throw away the decimal pieces
and just add up the whole numbers 45 and 3 ,
right there you would have 48 . So when you include
the decimal pieces, they'll make it even bigger.

aev [14]

Answer: B) 684m

Step-by-step explanation:

From 9 to 27 is a 3 times increase, from 27 to 108 is a 4 times increase. So following the pattern, we can determine that it will increase 5 times, and fall another 540m in second 4. Then, we simply add all the numbers together to get the answer!

You plan on financing a new road bike for $2,500. The bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan. Use this information, an

Mila [183]

This question can be approached using the present value of annuity formula. The present value of annuity is given by $PV=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{r}{t} \right)^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} } \right)$ , where: PV is the present value/amount of the loan, P is the periodic (monthly in this case) payment, r is the APR, t is the number of payments in one year and n is the number of years.

Given that the<span> financing is for a new road bike of $2,500 and that the bike shop offers a 13.5% APR for a 24 month loan.

Thus, PV = $2,500; r = 13.5% = 0.135; t = 12 payments (since payment is made monthly); n = 2 years (i.e. 24 months)

Thus,

</span> $2500=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ \frac{0.135}{12} \right)^{-2\times12}}{ \frac{0.135}{12} } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-\left(1+ 0.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{1-\left(1.01125 \right)^{-24}}{ 0.01125 } \right) \\ \\ =P\left( \frac{1-0.764531}{ 0.01125 } \right)=P\left( \frac{0.235469}{ 0.01125 } \right)=20.9306P \\ \\ \Rightarrow P= \frac{2500}{20.9306} =119.44$
<span>
Therefore, his monthly payment is $119.44</span>
