Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question isn't well written but I saw an identical question:
A bookshelf is 42 inches long. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?
For us to solve this, we would divide the length of the bookshelf by the width of each book. This would be:
= 42 ÷ 1 1/4
= 42 ÷ 5/4
= 42 × 4/5
= 33 3/5
Therefore, the number of books that will fit on the shelf is 33.
The answer is has to be D
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
A) A= 5000 x .0325 ( 31)
A= 5,037.50
.0325 = 3.25%
