Hey there!
A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
Therefore, your common ratio is 4.
To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.
Hope this helps!
T=4 should be the answer if ur trying 2 solve for T
Answer:
StartFraction 16 over 81 EndFraction
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 prime numbers from 2 to 10 (2, 3, 5, 7) and 9 numbers from 2 - 10. Total possibilities: 9 * 9 = 81
Prime possibilities: 4 * 4 = 16
Therefore the answer is 16/81 or StartFraction 16 over 81 EndFraction
Answer:
47 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that.
If the number of hours after the first hour is represented as x, then the number of pizzas he makes after x hours is:
6 + 3x
Lauren makes 11 pizzas in the first hour and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Then:
11 + 3x
The pizzeria is open for 6 hours in all, that is, 5 hours after the first hour.
This means that:
x = 5
The total amount of pizzas that Dave and Lauren make is:
6 + 3x + 11 + 3x
=> 17 + 6x
Therefore, the total amount of pizza they make 5 hours after the first hour is:
17 + 6(5) = 17 + 30 = 47 pizzas
