SOLUTION

From the sequence give

–3, 1, 5, 9, . . .

The first term, a = -3

The common difference, d = 4 (gotten by adding 4 to the next term).

The number of terms required n = 6.

Formula for sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by

S_n=\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a+(n-1)d\rbrack

Substituting these values into the equation above we have

\begin{gathered} S_n=\frac{n}{2}\lbrack2a+(n-1)d\rbrack \\ S_6=\frac{6}{2}\lbrack2\times-3+(6-1)4\rbrack \\ S_6=3\lbrack-6+(5)4\rbrack \\ S_6=3\lbrack-6+20\rbrack \\ S_6=3\lbrack14\rbrack \\ S_6=42 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 42, option B

1 pint= 1/8 gallon. How many pints are there in 2/3 gallon.
FrozenT [24]

gallon = pint *0.125

gallon = pint / 8
0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+

0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125+0.125 = 2

16 would be the answer I believe, maybe I'm wrong, double check.
