Emil starts the day with <u>16 liters</u> of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

of the 200 guests invited to a wedding 154 attended the wedding what percent of the invited guests attended the wedding
ch4aika [34]
To solve this equation, you haveto use the percent equation, which is p=% times w. IN this equation, p represents the part, % represents the percent, w represents the whole. We know so far that the whole is a total of 200 people. We also know that only 154 people actually attented, which tells us that the part os 154. What we need to figure out is the percent. Let's fill in the equation:
    p=% X w 
154= a X 200. (over here, I replaced the percent with the variable 'a' to          show that it is unknown.)
154=200a 
       (Now, we isolate the variable.)
154/200=200a/200 ( We divide both sides by 200 to get the a alone.)
.77=a 

We now know that our percent in decimal form is .77
After converting it to percent form, we get 77%
To rephrase:
77% of the invited guests attended the wedding. ( 154=.77x200 )
:) Hope this helped! Plz pick me as brainliest!

What are the first three terms of a geometric sequence in which a5 = 25 and the common ratio is 5?
svetlana [45]

Answer:  First three terms are 1/25, 1/5, and 1 in that order.

===========================================================

Explanation:

The fifth term is 25, which makes the fourth term to be 25*(1/5) = 5. We multiply any term by the reciprocal of the common ratio to move back to the previous term.

The third term is 5*(1/5) = 1. The second term is 1*(1/5) = 1/5. The first term is (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25

Therefore, the first five terms are:

1/25, 1/5, 1, 5, 25

As we move from left to right, we multiply each term by 5. Going in reverse, we multiply by 1/5.
