The number of terms in the given arithmetic sequence is n = 10. Using the given first, last term, and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence, the required value is calculated.

<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The general form of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

Where,

a1 - first term

n - number of terms in the sequence

d - the common difference

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

First term a1 = 1\frac{1}{2} = 3/2

Last term an = 2\frac{1}{2} = 5/2

Common difference d = 1/9

From the general formula,

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

On substituting,

5/2 = 3/2 + (n - 1)1/9

⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 5/2 - 3/2

⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 1

⇒ n - 1 = 9

⇒ n = 9 + 1

∴ n = 10

Thus, there are 10 terms in the given arithmetic sequence.

Natasha2012 [34]
The answer the 3,

First you have to apply the exponent rule which is 1 - 3• 1/g

Then you multiply the fractions - 1•3/g

Then multiply the numbers 1 and 3, which is 3, so there you have it 3/g, or 3, they’re the same thing.

If it takes 8 inches of ribbon to make a bow,how many bows can be made from 3 feet of ribbon (1 foot = 12 inches)? Will any ribb
Aloiza [94]

First, find out how much ribbon there is.

3 x 12 = 36

Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.

36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.

So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.
