Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7th term of an AP is 4 and its common difference is -4. The 7th term of an arithmetic progression is written as:

a + 6d = 4

where,

a = first term

d = common difference= -4

a + 6d = 4

a + 6(-4) = 4

a - 24 = 4

a = 4 + 24

a = 28

The first term is 28.

A cookie recipe calls for 1 2/3 of sugar if you plan on changing the recipe to make it 2 1/2 times as much how many cups of suga

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$4\frac{1}{6}\ cups$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The recipe calls for 1 2/3 of sugar

To make 2 1/2 times the recipe

Multiply 2 1/2 by 1 2/3

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fraction

$1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1*3+2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}\ cups$

$2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2*2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2}(\frac{5}{3})=\frac{25}{6}\ cups$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{25}{6}=\frac{24}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=4\frac{1}{6}\ cups$

Find the sum of the first 10 terms. 40,37,34,31,...

MArishka [77]

Answer:

It seems each number is 3 less than the previous number.

We must sum these 10 numbers

40, 37, 34, 31, 28, 25, 22, 19, 16, 13

The sum would equal the average of the middle 2 numbers times 10.

(28 + 25) / 2 = 53 / 2 = 26.5

We multiply by 10 because there are 10 numbers and this equals

265
