Answer:

The percent of increase in height of the stalks is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for a percent increase is as follows:  (Original Amount - New Amount/Original Amount) x 100.  The original height of the stalks was 60 inches tall.  The new height of the stalks is 72 inches.  In the numerator of our fraction, we take 72-60 to get 12.  Our denominator is the original amount, or 60.  This gives us an overall fraction of 12/60, which when we divide gives us 0.2.  Once we multiply our decimal by 100, we get an overall percent increase of 20%.

Find the six first terms of an arithmetic sequence with:<br> d = 2<br> Po= 30
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The first six terms of this arithmetic sequence are: 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

P_n = P_0 + nd

In which d is the common difference, that is, each term is increased by d.

d = 2, Po= 30

First term is 30, each consecutive is increased by 2. So

30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40

En un salon de clases cuando se colocan cuatro alumnos en cada banca, 3 de ellos quedan sin puesto y cuando se colocan de a 5 en
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: 5 benches and 23 students

Step-by-step explanation:

I will answer in English.

We have E students and B benches.

If we sit 4 students per bench, we have 3 students left.

then:

E = 4*B + 3

And if we sit 5 students per bench, there are two places with no students sited.

E = 5*B - 2

now we can replace the E in the second equation with the right part in the first equation:

4*B + 3 = 5*B - 2

3 + 2  = 5*B - 4*B

5 = B

So we have 5 benches, and:

E = 4*5 + 3 = 23 students.
