Do all ratios compare a part to a whole ?

1 answer:

6 0

Nope!

Let's say there are 14 boys and 15 girls in a math class. We can use the ratio 14:15 to find out how many boys and girls would be in a class triple the size.

There are many more ways to write a ratio than part to whole. I hope I helped! :)

Help plzzzz! pre calc question

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$\sum^{\infty}_0 {(-3)^n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the series: 1 - 3 + 9 - 27 +... clearly has powers of the factor 3 in its terms and it is also an alternate series (the terms alternate from positive to negative). The terms are positive for $a_0, a_2, a_4, ...$ (even terms) , while the odd terms $a_1, a_3, a_5, ...$ are negative. (so most likely there should be a factor (-1) in the common ratio.

We can then represent it with the following summation expression:

$\sum^{\infty}_0 {(-3)^n}$ given that each of its first four terms are:

$a_0=(-3)^0=1\\a_1=(-3)^1=-3\\a_2=(-3)^2=(-3)*(-3)=9\\a_3=(-3)^3=(-3)*(-3)*(-3)=-27$

Zachary travels on a journey of 50 miles. He spends half of

Mars2501 [29]

I divided 50 miles by 2 = 25 miles (walked) 25 miles (horseback)
I divided 25 by 3 = 8.33
I divided 25 by 9 = 3
Added together = 8.33 + 3 = 11.33
So time to complete the journey 11.33 hour
