well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.
what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

Answer:
2.016
Step-by-step explanation:
In your equasion, I couldn't tell if you need to multipy 0.8^2 by 3.15 or are you asking something else? If you want to multiply, the answer is 2.016.
Answer:
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It may be referred to as scientific form or standard index form, or standard form in the UK.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.
