Answer:

A0 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many girls there are by subtracting 8 (boys) from 20 (total). This means there are 12 girls. Since 8 girls aren't speaking, 4 are. 4+4=8. 8 out of the 20 children are speaking/ 8/20 simplified is 2/5

The ratio of x to y is 1/2 . If the ratio of x + 2 to y + 1 is 2/3 , then what is the value of x?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 1/2

(x + 2) / (y + 1) = 2/3

Cross multiply the first equation

2x = y

Put that value for y into the second equation.

(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3              Cross multiply

3(x + 2) = 2(2x + 1)                   Remove the brackets.

3x + 6 = 4x + 2                        Subtract 3x from both sides

6 = 4x - 3x + 2

6 = x + 2                                  Subtract 2 from both sides

6-2 = x

x = 4

Write a reclusive rule for the sequence, then give the next two numbers in the sequence 6,1,7,8,15,23
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

where:

a₁ = 6

a₂= 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the sequence:

6, 1, 7, 8, 15, 23, ...

Is easy to see that this sequence works as follows:

You take 2 consecutive numbers, and the next number is the sum of these two.

Then we have:

6 + 1 = 7

1 + 7 = 8

7 + 8 = 15

8 + 15 = 23

Then the n-th term is equal to the sum of the (n - 1) term and the (n - 2) term.

This is written as:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

Because in the recursive rule needs two previous terms, we need to specify  the two first terms of the sequence.

Then we need to write also:

a₁ = 6

a₂= 1.
