Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

Find the sum of the first five terms using the geometric series formula for the sequence 1/2, -1,2,-4…
sammy [17]

The sum of the first five terms is 11/2

<h3>How to determine the sum?</h3>

The series is given as:

1/2, -1,2,-4…

Calculate the common ratio of the series using

r = -4/2

Evaluate

r = -2

The sum is then calculated as:

S_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}

This gives

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{(1 - (-2)^5}{1 + 2}

Evaluate

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{33)}{3}

Evaluate

S_n =\frac{11}{2}

Hence, the sum of the first five terms is 11/2

Find the four arthmetic means between -3 and 46
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

6.8, 16.6, 26.4, 36.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the sequence, d is the common difference:

- 3, - 3 + d, - 3 + 2d, -3 + 3d, - 3 + 4d, 46

Therefore 46 = -3 + 5d

5d = 49

d = 49/5 = 9.8

So the first arithmetic mean is  -3 + 9.8 = 6.8.  and the second is -3 + 2(9.8) = 16.6...

They are:

6.8, 16.6, 26.4, 36.2.
