I'd say, 1 and 1/2 cup, if you split it in half.
In the expression given, the "n" is referring to a certain term, in this case, it would be the 16th term. So in order to find the 16th term, all you have to do is substitute n as 16 in the expression, so the answer is
. So the 16th term of the sequence is -29.

We know that 15 elves represent the 20% of the total.
Since 20% is one-fifth, the total number of elves is
Alternatively, solve the proportion
which yields
Answer: the rate of the passenger train is 100 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the rate of the passenger train.
The rate of the freight train was 10 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. It means that the rate of the freight train is (x - 10) mph
The passenger train traveled 100 miles. It means that the time it took travel 100 miles is
100/x
In the same amount of time, it took a freight train to travel 90 miles. It means that the time it took travel 90 miles is
90/(x - 10)
Since the time is the same, then
100/x = 90/(x - 10)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
100(x - 10) = 90x
100x - 1000 = 90x
100x - 90x = 1000
10x = 1000
x = 100 mph
