Before attempting to solve any problem, make sure that the units are consistent. There are units of feet and inches. To be consistent,let's convert ft to in knowing that there are 12 inches in 1 ft.

9 ft*12 in/1 ft = 108 inches

Now, it also mentions that there are 5 of these. So, the total length would be:
Total Length = 108*5 = 540 inches

Finally, divide the total length to 15 inches.

Number of portions = 540/15 = <em>36 pieces of 15-inch ribbons</em>

Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years he'll have $100. Be
Nimfa-mama [501]

Assuming Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years the correct balance will be: $158.5

First step is to determine Jerry total deposit

over the two years

Total deposit = 24×$5

Total deposit= $144

Now let determine what the correct balance will be at end of two years

Using this formula

Maximum Amount=Principal (1+r)^t

<em>Where</em>:

Principal=$144

r=4.8%/12 = 0.4% or 0.004

t=24 months

Let plug in the formula

Maximum Balance = $144 (1.004)^24

Maximum Balance  = $158.5

Based on the above calculation both Jerry $100 and Benny $163 balance are  ​eliminated or rule out because the correct balance after two years is $158.5

Inconclusion Assuming Jerry calculates that if he makes a deposit of $6 each month at an APR of 4.8%, then at the end of two years the correct balance will be: $158.5
