Answer: it will take 9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 18 inches
d = 1.5 inches
The expression becomes
Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30
Therefore,
30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18
1.5(n - 1) = 12
n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8
n = 8 + 1
n = 9
All you have to do is take the size for every cereal, divide it with its price and you should get your answer as cents. then compare them all and see which one has the lowest price.
* don't forgot to put place holders and add a decimal.
On google, it says 8.463.
The solutions would be 3 and 9
Answer:
y = 3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
