The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:
4 / 2 - 1
The proper order of operations would be:
Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1
But if subtracting was done before dividing:
4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4
So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
3/4 divides by 1/7 =
copy dot flip
3/4 * 7/1
21/4
4 goes into 21 5 times with 1 left over
5 1/4
Answer:
an = a(n-1) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the second term is smaller than the first term 7.
a20 = a19 - 7
a19 = a18 - 7
=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7
Then you can accumalate until a1
-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47
Answer:
565.49 or if rounded to the nearest tenth, 565.5
Explanation:
The formula for finding the volume of a cone is V=1/3Bh
B = pi times the radius squared
h = height
Substitute 6 for r and 15 for h.
V= 1/3·
·(
)·15
Multiply.
V= 565.49 or 565.5 rounded to the nearest tenth.
The constant of proportionality (r) appears to be 3.
y = 3x . . . . . . . x = number of tickets sold; y = dollars collected
