Answer:

1109

Step-by-step explanation:

you can subtract the terms to see the difference between them

-11-(-27)=16

The sequence is increasing by 16

you can plug that 16 in the formula for d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

a_n=a_1+(n-1)16

n represents the term you want to find in this case the 72nd

a sub 1 is the first term of the sequence in this case -27

a_72=-27+(72-1)16

a_72=-27+(71)16

a_72=-27+1136

a_72=1109

Answer:

1109.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is -11 - (-27) = 16 (also 5 - -11 = -16)

72nd term = a1 + d(n -1)

= -27 + 16(71)

= 1109.

nancy spent 7/8 hour working out at the gym she spent 5/7 of that time lifting weights what fraction of an hour did sje spentld

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$\frac{9}{56}\\$ Fraction of hour was spent by NAncy in lifting weights

Step-by-step explanation:

Time spent at the gym by Nancy = $\frac{7}{8}\,hour$

Time spent at lifting weights = $\frac{5}{7}\,hour$

What fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights?

Solving:

Fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights= Time spend at the gym-Time spent at lifting weights

Fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights= $\frac{7}{8}\,hour-\frac{5}{7}\,hour$

$=\frac{49}{56}-\frac{40}{56}\\=\frac{49-40}{56}\\=\frac{9}{56}\\$

So, $\frac{9}{56}\\$ Fraction of hour was spent by Nancy in lifting weights
