the amount of men in recital is 3 because it says men first in the answer when doing ratios always first word is the first number
What? Is that two problems? I'll change my answer, give me my answer.
The first term in our arithmetic sequence = 13
The common difference of our arithmetic sequence = 17 - 13 = 4
The formula for finding an equation for any arithmetic sequence is a(n) = A + B(n - 1)
A = the first term
B = the common difference.
Let's plug our numbers in.
a(n) = 13 + 4(n - 1)
Let's check to make sure we're correct.
a(1) = 13 + 4(1 - 1) = 13 + 4(0) = 13 + 0 = 13
a(2) = 13 + 4(2 - 1) = 13 + 4(1) = 13 + 4 = 17
That verifies that our formula is correct.
In conclusion,
a(n) = 13 + 4(n - 1)
833
Seravalle____________Chiesanuova______________San Marino
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
982
so the distance from Chiesanuova to Serravalle is :
982 - 833 = 149 miles <==
7/1 x 3/14 = 21/14 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
The answer is 1 1/12 or 1.5, but I recommend the fraction way since the problem was in fractions!
