Answer:
36 : 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Require to simplify the ratio
180 : 145
Divide both parts by 5
= 36 : 29 ← in simplest form
Simplest form means that no other number but 1 will divide into the 2 parts of the ratio.
Answer:
2.9375
2 15/16 as a decimal = 2.9375
2 15/16 in decimal form = 2.9375
Two and fifteen sixteenths as a decimal = 2.9375
2 and 15 over 16 as a decimal = 2.9375
Given the two options above, in order to come up with the best plan we have to calculate the future value of money in each plan.
compound interest is given by:

Option 1
p=$500
r=2%=0.02
t=1 year

Option 2
p=$500
r=2/12=1/6
n=1*12=12
hence:

=$509.09
Comparing the two plans above, option 1 is the best.
b] Option 1 is the best because she will secure $510 as compared to option 2 which has interest rate that reduces her amount by $1 after one year due to annual charges. The total amount of money she will have at the end of the plan is $510.
