Turn 14 into 16, 4 x 4 = 16, 4 x 8 = 32, 32 x 4 = 128cm
Arithmetic sequence: must have a constant common difference.
3/20-1/10=(3-2)/20=1/20
5/30-3/20=(10-9)/60=1/60
Difference is not constant, so no.
Geometric sequence: must have a common ratio
30/20 / (1/10) = 15
5/30 / (3/20) = 100/90 = 10/9
ratio is not constant, so no.
The answer is (c) neither geometric nor arithmetic
Answer:
1/24 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 / 4
= 1/6 * 1/4
= 1/24.
Answer: 31 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the following:
Alice's amount = P
Bob's amount = Q
Amount received = n
If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.
P + n = 4(Q - n)
P + n = 4Q - 4n
P = 4Q - 4n - n
P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)
If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob
P - n = 3(Q + n)
P - n = 3Q + 3n
P = 3Q + 3n + n
P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)
Equating both equations - (1) and (2)
4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n
4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n
Q = 9n
Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)
From equation 2:
P = 3Q + 4n
Substituting Q = 9n
P = 3(9n) + 4n
P = 27n + 4n
P = 31n
Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q
Ratio = P:Q
31 : 9
Answer: a = 18
explanation:
2(a + 10) = 56 -> distribute the 2
2a + 20 = 56 -> subtract 20 from both sides
2a = 56 - 20
2a = 36 -> divide both sides by 2
a = 18
