Answer:

The difference is \frac{3}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find the common denominator of the fractions.

The common denominator of \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{5} is 2*5=10; therefore we have

\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{10}

\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{10}

now it is easy to subtract \frac{5}{10} -\frac{2}{10} using the number line: we have to move \frac{3}{10} units to the left in order to get to \frac{2}{10}.

Thus our answer is

\boxed{\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{10} }

7. a hockey arena has 10 920 seats. the first row of seats around the rink has 220 seats. the number of seats in each subsequent
Mazyrski [523]

The number of rows in the arena is 26

<h3>How to determine the number of rows?</h3>

The hockey arena illustrates an arithmetic sequence, and it has the following parameters:

  • First term, a = 220
  • Sum of terms, Sn = 10920
  • Common difference, d = 16

The number of rows (i.e. the number of terms) is calculated using:

S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n -1) * d)

So,we have:

10920 = \frac{n}{2}(2 * 220 + (n -1) * 16)

Evaluate the terms and factors

21840 = n(440 + 16n -16)

Evaluate the like terms

21840 = n(424+ 16n)

Expand

21840 = 424n + 16n^2

Rewrite as:

16n^2 + 424n - 21840 = 0

Using a graphical tool, we have:

n = 26

Hence, the number of rows in the arena is 26
