Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... <em>simple.</em>

<u>The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.</u>

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Given:

Written pages for Act 1 = 20 1/2

Written pages for Act 2 = 5 1/2

For making mixed numbers like this easier to add, let's convert them first into an irrational number with this formula,

((Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator)/Denominator

Thus,

for 20 1/2

((20 × 2) + 1)/2 = 41/2

for 5 1/2

((5 × 2) + 1)/2 = 11/2

Then we add,

41/2 + 11/2

Since, they have the same denominator, no more conversions need, proceed adding the numerators,

(41 + 11)/2 = 52/2 = 26

You've written 26 pages in total.

Write a rule for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence described below.
belka [17]

Answer:

an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)

a25 = - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the definition for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:

an = a1 + (n - 1) d

a5 = 91 = a1 + (5 - 1) d

91 = a1 + 4 d

a20 = 1 = a1 + (20 - 1) d = a1 + 19 d

1 = a1 + 19 d

now we subtract term by term one expression from the other

90 = 4 d - 19 d

90 = - 15 d

divide both sides by -15 to isolate d

d = 90 / (-15) = -6

Now we can calculate what a1 is using for example:

1 = a1 + 19 d

1 = a1 - 114

add 114 to both sides:

115 = a1

Then our general expression for the sequence is:

an = 115 + (n - 1) (-6)

We can now use it to calculate the value of a25:

a25 = 115 + (24) * (-6) = -29
