Answer: A) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. 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.
If the third term is 20, it means that
T3 = 20 = ar^(3 - 1)
20 = ar²- - - - - - - - - - 1
If the third term is 20, it means that
T5 = 5 = ar^(5 - 1)
5 = ar⁴- - - - - - - - - - 2
Dividing equation 2 by equation 1, it becomes
5/20 = r⁴/r²
1/4 = r^(4 - 2)
(1/2)² = r²
r = 1/2
Answer:
∠2 = 18°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠WXZ = ∠1 + ∠2 ← substitute ∠1 = 3∠2
∠WXZ = 3∠2 + ∠2, that is
72 = 4∠2 ( divide both sides by 4 )
18 = ∠2, that is
∠2 = 18°

3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
480/(x+60) ≤ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the relations ...
time = distance/speed
distance = speed×time
speed = distance/time
to write the required inequality any of several ways.
Since the problem is posed in terms of time (7 hours) and an increase in speed (x), we can write the time inequality as ...
480/(60+x) ≤ 7
Multiplying this by the denominator gives us a distance inequality:
7(60+x) ≥ 480 . . . . . . at his desired speed, Neil will go no less than 480 miles in 7 hours
Or, we can write an inequality for the increase in speed directly:
480/7 -60 ≤ x . . . . . . x is at least the difference between the speed of 480 miles in 7 hours and the speed of 60 miles per hour
___
Any of the above inequalities will give the desired value of x.
392 boots. If you divide everything into "sets" of an unknown amount, there are 5 more "sets" of boots than sandals, also known as the 245 boots. So if you divide 245 by 5, you'll get the number of items in a "set". Then just multiply by 8 from the 8:3 ratio. If you check it, it will come out to 392 boots to 147 sandals, which I think is ridiculous since sandals are supposed to come in pairs so you should never have a odd number. But anyway, 392 - 147 = 245
