A beaded necklace is 2.5 feet long. Each bead is .25 inches wide & each pair of beads is separated by 1.25 inches of chain.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

There are 20 beads on the necklace.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A beaded necklace is 2.5 feet long. Each bead is .25 inches wide & each pair of beads is separated by 1.25 inches of chain.

Now, to find the number of beads on the necklace.

The length of necklace = 2.5 feet.

So, we convert feet into inches by using conversion factor:

1 foot = 12 inches.

2.5 feet = 12 × 2.5 inches.

2.5 feet = 30 inches.

Thus, the length of necklace is 30 inches.

Let the number of beads be $x.$

The width of each bead = 0.25 inches.

The each pair of beads is separated by 1.25 inches.

Now, we put an equation to get the number of beads:

$(0.25+1.25)x=30$

$0.25x+1.25x=30$

$1.50x=30$

Dividing both sides by 1.50 we get:

$x=20.$

The number of beads = 20.

Therefore, there are 20 beads on the necklace.

Enter the finite geometric series from its given description, and then enter its sum.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$a_n= 4(-5)^{(n-1)}$

-10416

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 4

r = -5

geometric series: $a_n=ar^{(n-1)} = 4(-5)^{(n-1)}$

Determine which term = -12500:

$a_n=-12500$

$4(-5)^{(n-1)}=-12500$

$(-5)^{(n-1)} = -3125$

$(5)^{(n-1)} = 3125$

$(n-1)ln(5) = ln(3125)$

$n-1 = ln(3125)/ln(5) = 5$

$n = 5 + 1 = 6$

$a_6=-12500$

Using geometric sum series formula: $S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

Therefore, $S_6=\frac{4(1-(-5)^6)}{1-(-5)} =\frac{-62496}{6} =-10416$
