The common ratio is the current number divided by the previous. So the ratio is 1/2
The sequence is 12, 6, 3, 3/2, 3/4 ...
You can obtain any number multiplying the previous number times 1/2.
6 = 12 *(1/2)
3 = 6*(1/2)
3/2 = 3*(1/2)
Answer:
160 jars
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many jars were used, we just need to divide the amount of stuff by the amount of stuff a jar can hold.
400 (the amount of peanut number in pounds) / 2.5 (the amount of peanut butter each jar can hold) = 160.
So, 160 jars were used to package the 400 pounds of peanut butter.

<u>Isosceles trapezoid</u>
- ∠R and ∠S are supplementary
- ∠S≅∠T, ∠R≅∠V
- m∠S = m∠T = 54°
- m∠R = 180° - 54° = 126°

<u>Midsegment is half the sum of the base lengths</u>
- ST = 1/2(FP + EQ)
- 3.1 = 1/2(2.7 + EQ)
- 2.7 + EQ = 6.2
- EQ = 6.2 - 2.7
- EQ = 3.5
Based on the given above, collection of books of Nathan and Jason can be translated into the following equations:
6J + 1/3N = 134
1/3 J + N = 31; J = Jasons and N=Nathan
Solving two equations with two unknowns simultaneously,
Jason = 21 books and Nathan = 24 books
