Answer:

the 14th term in the sequence would be 81920.

Step-by-step explanation:

because you are multiplying by 2 each time to find the next multiply 80 by 2 giving you 160 again giving you 320 again giving you 640 than 1280 , 2560 ,5120 ,10240 ,20480 ,40960 ,finally the 14th number in the sequence multiplying 40960 by 2 would give you your answer of 81920.

Answer:

81920

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the common ratio (r) :

20/10
2

Finding the 14th term :

a₁₄ = ar¹⁴⁻¹
a₁₄ = ar¹³
a₁₄ = (10)(2)¹³
a₁₄ = (10)(8192)
a₁₄ = 81920

Today joelle walked at a rate of 3 miles per hour and she ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour.How many total miles did

svetoff [14.1K]

I added a screenshot with the complete question

Answer:
Total miles = 2.5 miles

Explanation:
1- While walking:
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked $\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}$ of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:
Distance = 3 * $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1 mile

2- While running:
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$ of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:
Distance = 6 * $\frac{1}{4}$ = 1.5 miles

3- getting the total mileage:
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles

Hope this helps :)
