<span>Quin is adding the compensation needed instead of subtracting. First she calculated 40x4. She is trying to find 37x4. To do this, she would have to instead gather all the data: 3x4 = 12 40x4 = 160 Subtract instead of add: 40x4 - 3x4 = ? 160 - 12 = 148 The answer is 148.</span>

Find an explicit formula for the following sequence, an which starts with a1=2/3. 2/3,3/4,4/5,5/6,…
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=2/3

sequence is 2/3,3/4,4/5,...

for numerator a1=2

d=3-2=1

numerator of nth term=a1+(n-1)d=2+(n-1)×1=2+n-1=n+1

denominator = 1 more than numerator=n+1+1=n+2

so an=(n+1)/(n+2)

or for denominator a1=3,d=4-3=1

denominator of nth term=3+(n-1)×1=3+n-1=n+2

an=(n+1)/(n+2)

Describe two methods for converting a mixed number to a decimal
uysha [10]
R example: 6 1/2 = 13/2 = 6.5

For the first example, six and a half is equal to thirteen halves, which is then equal to six point five. To do this, the rule to turn a mix number into a fraction is by multiplying the 2 with the 6 and then add the answer to 1, which gives 13/2 (Remember to always give the same denominator). Finally, thirteenth halves is equal to six point five (because when you divide 13 by 2, you get 6 and one left over. To continue dividing, add a 0 , and so 10 goes into 2 is five. so the decimal is 6.5

If a spring stretches 6 meters when a 7-kilogram weight is attached to it, how much will it stretch when a 42-kilogram weight is
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 This is a simple proportion problems.

7 kilogram weight attache to a spring stretches  = 6 meters

 1 kilogram would stretch                                       =  6/7 m

Therefore 42 kilograms would  stretch                  = (6/7 x 42)meters

                                                                                 =  36 meters.

Can anyone pls answer this! it's really urgent! ​
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find a common denominator and in this case its 20. SO you change 3/4ths to 15/20 and 4/5ths to 16/20ths and 19/20 stays the same. Then you cancel out the 20 because its all the same number (I think) and you have your answer.
