Answer:

The next number in the sequence is 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence you present is a geometric sequence. Geometric sequences are sequences in which successive terms are increases/decreases of an initial number by a common constant factor and are defined as

An= A0*r^(n-1)

The nth term of the sequence is the first term A1 multiplied by a common factor r.

In your problem A1 is 9. The common factor between terms is 1/3 because

9* (1/3) = 9/3= 3

3* (1/3) = 9/3= 1

1* (1/3) = 1/3= 1/3

So the fifth term n= 5 is

An= A0*r^(n-1)

A5=9*(1/3)^(5-1) =9*(1/3)^(4) =9*(1/81)=9/81= 1/9

The answer is 1/9

9 divided by 3 = 3   3divided by 3 = 1   1 divided by 3 = 1/3  so 1/3 divided by 3=1/9

Max was on vacation twice as long is Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of three weeks. How man
nasty-shy [4]
To begin with, the question is asking for the answer in days, so let's change 3 weeks to days. There are 7 days in 1 week; 3 weeks times 7 days = 21 days.
21 total days of vacation.

Max + Jared + Wesley = 21 days
(Let's use the first letter of their name to represent their vacation time)

M + J + W = 21 [This is the equation we'll be coming back to]

Now, we can use the clues given in the question to have an equation for each variable/boy. 

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared. We can interpret this as  M= 2J Max was on vacation only half as long as Wesley. We can interpret this as M = (1/2)W.

So far we have these three equations: M + J + W = 21M = 2J M = (1/2)W

To have an equation for each individual boy, we must rearrange the last two equations in the list.

First, M = 2J.
Divide both sides by 2
M/2 = 2J/2
(1/2)M = J

Second, <span>M = (1/2)W
Multiply both sides by 2
2M = W

New equations:
</span><span>M + J + W = 21 [From the old list]
</span>J = (1/2)W
W = 2M

Now we can substitute the last two equations into the first one. 
M + J + W = 21
M + (1/2)W + 2M = 21
[Combine Like Terms]
<span>(7/2)M = 21 
</span>
Then, solve for M (Max's vacation days):
Multiply both sides by 2/7
(\frac{2}{7})* (\frac{7}{2}m)= (\frac{2}{7})*(21)
M = 6

Now we know Max was on vacation for 6 days.

If Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared, that means Jared was on vacation HALF as long as Max.

So...
<span>J = (1/2)M 
J = (1/2) * 6
J = 3
Jared was on vacation for 3 days 
</span>
Wesley was on vacation twice as long as Max so...  W = 2M 
W= 2*6
W = 12
Wesley was on vacation for 12 days. 

Let's double check our answer:
M + J + W = 21 days<span>6 + 3 + 12 = 21   
The numbers work out so the math is correct. Hope this helps and makes sense!</span>

Dishwashers are on sale for 25% off the original price ( d ), which can be expressed with the function p ( d ) = 0.75d. Local ta
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>Price of the dishwashers on sale are represented with the function: p ( d ) = 0.75 d ( 100 % - 25 % = 75 % or 0.75 d ): After that we have additional 14 % on the discounted price ( 100 % + 14 % = 114 % OR 1.14 ): C ( P ) = 1.14 P. Finally, c ( p ( d ) ) = 1.14 * 0.75 d = 0.855 d. Answer: C ) c [ p ( d ) ] = 0.855 d Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>

Which of the following statistics about college graduates is not true?
Crazy boy [7]
The statistic about college graduates which is not true is that C. they can earn nearly double the income of high school graduates.
They cannot earn that much really - even though they have a college degree, there are many jobs that don't require a degree which also pay a lot.

Area = 120 units squared <br> Base = 8 units <br> Length = ? (Include the units in your answer)
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we know that Base*Length=Area, so we just have to divide the area by the base, so the formula here is Area/Base=Length.

That would get us 120/8=Length,

and if we just divide 120 by 8 we get 15, so the length is 15
