Jose drew a line on the sidewalk outside his house with chalk that was 1 3/4 of a yard long for a game that he is playing with his friends. he wants to divide the line into sections that are each 2/5 of a yard long. how many sections will the line be divided into?

Jose drew a line on the sidewalk. The line will be divide into approximately 4 sections.

Solution:

It is given that the line that Jose drew on the sidewalk outside his house is yard long. Now he want to divide the line into sections that are of a yard long. We have to find out how many sections the line will be divided.  

Let the number of sections be x

Thus using the below equation we can find out the number of section

Thus the line will be divide into approximately 4 sections.

Mortgage option (3) would be best suited for them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mortgage option (1) and (2) are more or less the same since, since even if Damarco and Tanya down payments $34,000 (20% of the purchase price), they need to pay the interest for 30 years for both of the cases and even if he pays  about $750   monthly (as for option (1)) or about  $ 9000 annually (as  for option (2))  both may actually be more or less the same amount  since, the annual rate of interest in (2) may increase from the initial rate of 3.5% (but it is very unlikely to increase to over 5%) and option (1) has an annual  fixed rate of interest of 4.25%.

Now, in the option (3) the interest is to be paid for 8 years and the annual rate of interest is also relatively low (only 4%) and if they pay about $18,000 annually with a down-payment of $ 34,000 and  repay the rest of the amount at the end of 8 years,(which would be less than $ 35,000)  they can easily clear their mortgage. Hence, for option (3) they would need to pay lowest total amount and for lowest time to clear the mortgage among the three options. Hence, this would be best suited option for them.
