His rate is 4.5 miles per hour. It would take him 4 hours to hike 18 miles. He would have traveled 31.5 miles in 7 hours.
So if 24 people chose popcorn and there is a total of 60 people surveyed, the fraction would be 24/60. You still need to simplify the fraction, so divide 24/60 by 4 to get 6/15. Hope this helps. -S
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,
r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3
Therefore, the sequence is geometric.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = - 2
r = - 3
The explicit formula is
Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)
To find the 8th term, T8,
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7
T8 = - 2 × - 2187
T8 = 4374
