In a walking competition, Marlinda was 15m ahead of Sandra Evliani. Marlinda steps 1m each time Sandra Elviani’s foot steps 0.8m. How many steps does Sandra Elviani have to make to match Marlinda?​

Given that in a walking competition, Marlinda was 15m ahead of Sandra Evliani, and Marlinda steps 1m each time Sandra Elviani's foot steps 0.8m, to determine how many steps does Sandra Elviani have to make to match Marlinda, the following calculation must be performed:

Since Sandra Elviani walks 0.8 meters for every 1 meter that Marlinda walks, and that she has an advantage of 15 meters in the competition, it is impossible that at that rate Sandra can reach her. This is so because for each step of Marlinda, Sandra will be 0.2 meters behind her, increasing the distance (1-0.8).

2nd one in the first row is correct

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
