Answer:

22.5


Step-by-step explanation:

If you expand the series, you can see the first few terms of the series:

  • Putting 1 in n, \frac{1}{2}(1)-\frac{1}{2}=0
  • Putting 2 in n, \frac{1}{2}(2)-\frac{1}{2}=0.5
  • Putting 3 in n, \frac{1}{2}(3)-\frac{1}{2}=1
  • Putting 4 in n, \frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}=1.5

We can see the series is 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ....

This is an arithmetic series with common difference (the difference in 2 terms) 0.5 and first term 0.

We know formula for sum of arithmetic series:

s_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)

Where,

  • S_{n} denotes the nth partial sum
  • a is the first term (in our case it is 0)
  • n is the term (in our case it is 10 since we want to find 10th partial sum -- sum until first 10 terms)
  • d is the common difference (difference in term and the previous term) (in our case it is 0.5)

Substituting these into the formula, we get the 10th partial sum to be:

s_{10}=\frac{10}{2}(2(0)+(10-1)(0.5))\\s_{10}=5(0+(9)(0.5))\\s_{10}=5(0+4.5)\\s_{10}=5(4.5)\\s_{10}=22.5

So the sum of the first 10 terms is 22.5. Third answer choice is right.

Please explain how to divide 1,344 by 24 using the box method? I know the answer is 56, but I am not sure how to get this answer
Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that divisor is 24 and dividend is 1344 and we are to use box method.

Long division is often considered one of the most challenging topics to teach. Luckily, there are strategies that we can teach to make multi-digit division easier to understand and perform.

The Box Method, or  the Area Model, is one of these strategies. It is a mental math based approach that will enhance number sense understanding. Students solve the equation by subtracting multiples until they get down to 0, or as close to 0 as possible.

For example this method is shown below:

I step is to find in multiples of 10 or 100 the greatest divisor

24) 1344( 500

      1200

      --------

        144

Step 2: Next step is to divide 144 by 24

24)144( 6

     144

      ----

         0

Thus we find that quotient is quotient in I step + quotient in 2nd step

= 50+6 = 56

and remainder is zero.

PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks in advance!! Henry is a ringmaster for the circus. He stands inside a circular circus ring that has a circ
Andreas93 [3]

Circumference  =   2pi  * r

So

3pi   =  2pi  r               divide  away pi

3  =  2  r

(3/2)  =  r    =   1.5 m

Area  =  pi  ( r^2)   =   pi  (1.5)^2   =   2.25 pi   m^2   ≈  7.07  m^2

A 90 ° angle is divided into 2 angles. Find the size of the angles. 3x+15 and 2x+25
fenix001 [56]

The two angles are 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are just halfing the 90 degree angle, so all you have to do is divide 90 by two, and you have 45.
