Answer:
0.514
Step-by-step Explantion:
Denominator = 500 = 2^2 * 5^3
257/500 = 257/2^2*5^3 = 2*257/2*2^2*5^3 = 514/2^3*5^3 = 514/(2*5)^3 = 514/10^3 = 0.514
They’re similar so their ratio should be equal
The scale is 5:6
You can also do
5/6 = x/24
Since 6 * 4 = 24
5 * 4 must get you the answer
Solution: 20

Answer:
The first term is 14
The common difference is -2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The rule to calculate the an term in an arithmetic sequence is

where
d is the common difference
a_1 is the first term
we have that
The third term of an arithmetic sequence is equal to 9
so


substitute

----> equation A
The rule to find the sum of the the first n terms of the arithmetic sequence is equal to
![S=\frac{n}{2} [2a_1+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2a_1%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
we have
The sum of the first 8 term is 42
so


substitute
![42=\frac{8}{2} [2a_1+(8-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=42%3D%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2a_1%2B%288-1%29d%5D)
![42=4[2a_1+7d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=42%3D4%5B2a_1%2B7d%5D)
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
the solution is (14,-2.5)
see the attached figure
therefore

The first term is 14
The common difference is -2.5
