Let's begin by putting together some equations:
Seth has charges $39 and then $13 per hour. Since "hour" is our variable, let's write that as $13h where h = the number of hours.
Seth = 39 + 13h, $39 plus $13 times the number of hours
Malcolm charges $55 and then $11 per hour. So:
Malcolm = 55 + 11h, $55 plus $11 times the number of hours
Our goal is to find out how many hours both have to work before they charge the same amount. So let's set our Seth and Malcolm equations equal to one another.
39 + 13h = 55 + 11h, because we want to solve for h to see the number of hours.
First let's subtract 39 from each side:
(39 + 13h) - 39 = (55 + 11h) - 39
13h = 16 + 11h
Now let's subtract 11h from each side:
(13h) - 11h = (16 + 11h) - 11h
2h = 16
Simplify and solve for h by dividing each side by two:
(2h)/2 = (16)/2
h = 8
So Malcolm and Seth would have to work for 8 hours before both earn the same amount. After 8 hours, Seth would earn more than Malcolm. Before 8 hours, Malcolm would earn more than Seth.
When you multiply 2/3 by a fraction less than 1.
The product becomes less than the original 2/3.
That is because 2/3 itself is a fraction and a fraction of a fraction makes the original fraction smaller. In that you are taking a part of the fraction.

Mr. Blue' salary is an illustration of a geometric sequence
- The explicit rule of Mr. Blue 's salary is an = 30000 * 2^(n - 1)
- The recursive rule of Mr. Blue's salary is an+1 = 2an; a1 = 30000
<h3 /><h3>How to determine the explicit formula?</h3>
Mr. Blue's salary is a geometric sequence with the following parameters:
First term, a1 = 30000
Rate, r = 2
The explicit rule is calculated as:
an = a1 * r^(n - 1)
This gives
an = 30000 * 2^(n - 1)
<h3>How to determine the recursive formula?</h3>
The common ratio is calculated as:
r = an+1/an
Substitute 2 for r
2 = an+1/an
Cross multiply
an+1 = 2an
Hence, the recursive rule of Mr. Blue's salary is an+1 = 2an; a1 = 30000
