Answer:
2 / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Fractions are written in the form part/whole, in this case, the part is 18 and the whole is 45 so the fraction would be 18 / 45 which simplifies to 2 / 5.
Bea has $550 more money than Alessandro after 12 months.
Explanation:
So let start with writing the equation for Alessandro money. So we know that the current amount in his/her bank account has $2,400 and she saves $250 per month. So the equation that best fit these terms is:
y
=
250
x
+
2
,
400
Bea has $1,750 in his/her bank account and saves $350 per month. So the equation that best fit these terms is:
y
=
350
x
+
1
,
750
So for x for both of these equations is 12. So let plug the number in
Alessandro:
y
=
250
(
12
)
+
2
,
400
y
=
3000
+
2400
y
=
$
5400
after 12 months
Bea:
y
=
350
(
12
)
+
1750
y
=
4200
+
1750
y
=
$
5950
after 12 months
So subtracting $5950 and 5400 gives us a $550
hope this helps :p
