Answer:

Although the notation is sloppy, I will assume based on former questions of the same that "∑n=15[5(−2)^n−1]" translates mathematically to . Please correct me, though, if this in incorrect.

Anyway, there is neat formula that will deal with question very quickly. It is the following:

Sn is the sum of the geometric series

a1 is the first term in the series

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms in the finite geometric series

Let's use this formula to our advantage! However, there are two variables that we do not know: a1 and n. Let's start with a1.The first term in the series is when n=1, so let's determine what that is.

Answer:

605 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7

and there are 847 girls

we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:

5:7

= 5/7

= x/847

Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.

5 x

--- x ------

7 847

The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.

the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.

847 * 5 = 4,235

4,235 divided by 7 is 605

605 is your answer.

The cross method can be used in most situations.

* is used to represent multiplication btw

Answer:

October 30 is the day of the month she will run and walk during the same day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what day of the month will she run and walk during the same day, we will list the days she plans to go running and the days she plans to walk.

From the question, Lisa plan to go running every fifth day and walk every sixth day, then

If she begins on October 1, the days she will run will be

October 5, October 10, October 15, October 20, October 25, and October 30;

while the days she will walk will be

October 6, October 12, October 18, October 24, and October 30.

Since October 30 occurred among the days she will run and walk, then October 30 is the day of the month she will run and walk during the same day.
