Answer:
5 pints per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Morning:
Given:
Number of strawberries packed in every 4 minutes = 3
∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = 
So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = 
1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 45 pints per hour in the morning.
Afternoon:
Number of strawberries packed in every 3 minutes = 2
∴ Number of strawberries packed in every one minute = 
So, number of strawberries packed in every 60 minutes = 
1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, strawberries are packed at a rate of 40 pints per hour in the afternoon.
Difference between the packing rates is given as:
Morning rate - Afternoon rate = 45 - 40 = 5 pints per hour.
So, she packed 5 more pints in one hour in the morning than in the afternoon.
Answer:
d=-4 and a=10
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of a arithmetic sequence is given by (n/2)*(2a+(n-1)d). Comparing coefficients with the given Sn, we have; a-d/2=12 and d/2=-2, d=-4 and a=10.
Answer: 120 ways
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked how many ways can 5 people be arranged in a line.
Let's start by drawing 5 blanks to represent the 5 different positions in the line.
Now, we know that 5 different people can fill the spot in the first position. However, once the first position is filled, only 4 people can fill the second spot and once the second spot is filled, only 3 people can fill the third spot and so on. So we have <u>5</u> <u>4</u> <u>3</u> <u>2</u> <u>1</u>.
Now, based on the counting principle, there are 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ways for all 5 spots to be filled.
5 x 4 is 20, 20 x 3 is 60, 60 x 2 is 120, and 120 x 1 is 120.
So there are 120 ways for all 5 spots to be filled which means that there are 120 ways that 5 people can be arranged in a line.
I have also shown my work on the whiteboard in the image attached.
Seeing from the graph I've provided above, the correct answer would be D, the last one.
