To determine the common ratio of the geometric sequence, divide the second term with the first term. 480 divided by 768 equals 5/8. Further, the ratio of the third and second terms may be used to check the consistency of the common ratio. The ratio is also 5/8. Thus, the common ratio is 5/8.

We know nothing about Elizabeth hours, so that is where you assign the variable.

Elizabeth = X

Katie = X+3

Siobhan = X -1

Assuming this holds true over 3 weeks,

3(x+3) = 3X + 3(x-1)

3x + 9 = 3x + 3x - 3

3x + 9 = 6x - 3

0 = 6x - 3 - 3x - 9

0 = 3x - 12

12 = 3x

x=4

in one week:

Elizabeth volunteers 4 hours

Katie volunteers 7 hours

Siobhan volunteers 3 hours

over three weeks:

Elizabeth volunteers 12 hours

Katie volunteers 21 hours

Siobhan voluteers 9 hours

21 = 12 + 9, so yes it checks.

Owen’s bedroom has a perimeter of 46 feet. If the length of the bedroom is 11 feet, what is the width
AnnyKZ [126]

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by (2 × Length(l)) + (2 × Width(w)) = 2l + 2w

l= 11 feet

2(11) + 2w = 46

2w = 46 - 22 = 24

w = 24/2 = 12 feet

Width = 12 feet.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

We would advise her to choose Country Route because in this route time consistent between 15 and 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jean lives about 10 miles from the college where she plans to attend a 10-week summer class. There are two main routes she can take to the school, one through the city and one through the countryside.

Jean sets up a randomized experiment where each day she tosses a coin to decide which route to take that day. She records the following data for 5 days of travel on each route.

Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18  (in minutes)

City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16 (in minutes)

Now, we have to decide which route is better for Jean to go to college.

As we can see from the data that the Country route timings is consistent between 15 to 18 minutes which means most of the times she will reach college between these minutes only.

While on the other hand, we can observe that City route timings are very much consistent as it has a low value of 10 minutes and high value of 20 minutes which means Jean can't be sure that at which time she will reach college.

Hence, we would advise her to choose Country route.
