This is a proportion problem
Info needed: there is 36 inches in a yard
1/36= x/18
Cross multiply and divide
18 x 1= 18
18 divided by 36= .5 or 1/2
Answer is 1/2
You could have also known that 18 inches was half of 36 inches. Which 36 inches equals one yard

3y(-5y-10)
3y-5y-10
-2y-10
-2y-10
The amount you should put is 3846
<h3>How to determine the principal amount?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Amount, A = 4000
Rate, r = 8%
Time = 0.5 year i.e. 6 months
The amount on simple interest is calculated as:
A = P(1 + RT)
This gives
4000 = P * (1 + 8% * 0.5)
Evaluate the product
4000 = P * (1 + 0.04)
Evaluate the sum
4000 = P * (1.04)
Divide both sides by 1.04
P= 3846
Hence, the amount you should put is 3846
