Answer:

(a) 7 + 3( n - 1 )

(b) 1006

Step-by-step explanation:

ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE.

The number of term of an Arithmetic progression has the formular :

nth term = a + ( n - 1 ) d

a = 7

d = 10 - 7 = 3

nth term = 7 + ( n - 1 ) 3

= 7 + 3n - 3

= 7 + 3( n - 1 )

Therefore,

the nth term of the sequence

= 7 + 3( n - 1 )

(b) For the 1000th term

= 7 + 3 ( 1000-1 )

= 7 + ( 999 )

7 + 999 = 1006

Therefore,

the 1000th term = 1006

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Ella should add $32\dfrac{5}{6}$ lbs of water.

Total weight of syrup $33\dfrac{1}{3}$ lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight:

Weight of sugar = 0.5 lbs.

Weight of water added = x lbs

Total weight = 0.5 + x lbs

Percentage:

0.5 + x -- 100%

0.5 -- 1.5%

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{0.5+x}{0.5}=\dfrac{100}{1.5}$

Cross multiply:

$1.5(0.5+x)=0.5\cdot 100\\ \\0.75+1.5x=50\\ \\1.5x=50-0.75\\ \\1.5x=49.25\\ \\x=\dfrac{49.25}{1.5}=\dfrac{4,925}{150}=\dfrac{197}{6}=32 \dfrac{5}{6}\ lbs$

Ella should add $32\dfrac{5}{6}$ lbs of water.

Total weight of syrup

$32\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2}=32\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{3}{6}=33\dfrac{1}{3}\ lbs$

A quality control officer is randomly checking the weights of pumpkin seed bags being filled by an automatic filling machine. Ea

grandymaker [24]

If a bag of pumpkin seeds must weigh within 2.1 grams in order to be accepted, each bags must weigh between (400-2.1) grams and (400+2.1) grams. This means that if a bag weighs less than 397.9 grams (x<397.9) or more than 402.1 grams (x>402.1) it will be rejected. Therefore, 397.9>x>402.1 is the range of rejected bags.
