30 students.....14 are boys...that means (30 - 14) = 16 are girls

if 2 boys are dropped......14 - 2 = 12 boys
and 2 girls are added......16 + 2 = 18 girls

fraction of the class that are boys is : 12/30 which reduces to 2/5 <==

14/30 =amount of boys
(14-2)/30
12/30=new amount

16/30 =original amount of girls
(16+2)/30=new amount of girls

12/30=6/15=2/5
2/5 is your answer

Finger [1]
When the sides are congruent (same direction and size), and the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles are the same. In an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because two sides are congruent.

A boat travels 30 miles due North and then turns and travels 40 miles due
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents a 3-4-5 right triangle, where 3-4-5 is the ratio. Multiply those numbers by 10 to get 30-40-50. 30 and 40 are already in the problem, so 50 is the answer.

Consider the infinite geometric series (∞/Σ/n=1) * -4(1/3)^{n-1}.
raketka [301]
The first four terms of the series probably refer to the first four partial sums.

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^1-4\left(\frac13\right)^{n-1}=-4\left(\frac13\right)^{1-1}=-4
\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^2-4\left(\frac13\right)^{n-1}=-\frac{16}3
\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^3-4\left(\frac13\right)^{n-1}=-\frac{52}9
\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^4-4\left(\frac13\right)^{n-1}=-\frac{160}{27}

which you can compute either by adding one term at a time, or using the well-known formula,

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^kar^{n-1}=a\frac{1-r^{k+1}}{1-r}

(I can provide a link to a derivation I gave in a nearly identical question in the comments)

The series converges as k\to\infty if and only if |r|, which is certainly the case here, since -1.

Extrapolating from the formula above, the sum of the convergent series is

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty ar^{n-1}=\frac a{1-r}

so the sum for this series is \dfrac{-4}{1-\frac13}=-6.
