I would say 80, because without an estimate it'd be 79 and 79x5=395. So 80x5=400, which is the estimate of 395. So 80 is the answer

Shanice's car is traveling 10 miles per hour slower than twice the speed of Brandon's car. She covers 93 miles in 1 hour 30 minu

joja [24]

Shanice's rate: 93 / 1.5 = 62 miles per hour

she is 10 miles slower than twice the speed of Brandon

62 +10 = 72

72/2 = 36

Brandon is driving 36 miles per hour

Suzie's Nursery is having a sale on two kinds of plants, venus fly traps and bonsai trees.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Venus fly trap = 12

Bonsai tree = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Venus fly trap = $3per plant

Bonsai tree = $5 per plant

Number of plants sold = 29

Total cost of plant sold = $121

Let venus fly trap = x ; bonsai tree =y

x + y = 29 ___ (1)

3x + 5y = 121 ____(2)

From (1) :

x = 29 - y

In (2):

3(29 - y) + 5y = 121

87 - 3y + 5y = 121

87 + 2y = 121

2y = 121 - 87

2y = 34

y = 34/2

y = 17

x = 29 - 17

x = 12

Hence,

Venus fly trap = 12

Bonsai tree = 17

A light bulb consumes 960 watt hours per day how long does it take to consume 4320 watt hours

VARVARA [1.3K]

Since we need to determine how long it takes for the watt hours to consume 4320 watt hours, we would need to divide.

We would simply divide.

4320/950= 4.5

The 4.5 represents how long it would take for the light bulb to consume 4320 watt hours.

Therefore, the answer would be 4.5 days.

<u>Answer</u>

4.5 days

<u>Recap</u>

1. We read the problem and determined that in order to solve the problem we would need to divide.

2. We then divided 4320/960= 4.5

3. We came to the conclusion that 4.5 days would be the answer.

How to find nth term of a sequence in math?

worty [1.4K]

Salutations!

To find the nth term, you will be needing a formula.

$a +(n-1) *d$

a stands for the first term (first number in the sequence)

d stands for the difference between two terms. (always remember to subtract from the 2nd term to the 1st term)

and the n is what we are going to find

so in your sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20

5 is a (as it is the first term)

d would be 5 ( 10 -5 =5)

$a+(n-1)*d$

$5+ (n-1) *5$

$5+5n-5$

$5n+0$

your nth term is $5n+0$

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
