Answer: he bought 72 ounces of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces of blueberries that Wayne bought.

He used 3/8 of the blueberries to make blueberry bread. This means that the amount of blueberries that he used to make blueberry bread is 3x/8 ounces

He used 1/6 of the blueberries to make pancakes. This means that the amount of blueberries that he used to make pancakes is x/6 ounces.

He used 5/12 of the blueberries to make jam. This means that the amount of blueberries that he used to make jam is 5x/12 ounces. The total amount of blueberries used is

3x/8 + x/6 + 5x/12 = 46x/48

If Wayne uses 69 ounces of blueberries he bought, it means that

46x/48 = 69

46x = 48 × 69 = 3312

x = 3312/46

x = 72 ounces

Find the 7th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/3 and whose first term is 5.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

t_7 =\frac{5}{729}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

First term (a) = 5

common ratio (r) =\frac{1}{3}

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:

t_n =ar^{n-1} \\\therefore t_7 =5\times \bigg(\frac{1}{3}\bigg) ^{7-1} \\\therefore t_7 =5\times \bigg(\frac{1}{3}\bigg) ^{6} \\\therefore t_7 =5\times \bigg(\frac{1}{3}\bigg) ^{6} \\\therefore t_7 =5\times \frac{1}{729}\\\\\huge\red{\boxed{\therefore t_7 =\frac{5}{729} }}
