I love this question!  It requires careful reading!  There are multiple ways to get the right answer, so here are a couple!  The sentence tells us the fraction of the questions he got RIGHT!  To find this out you must multiply 3/5 by the total number of questions (3/5 x 15 = 9  correct questions).  You then can subtract the 9 questions from the 15 total to find out the number that were INCORRECT/WRONG.  15 - 9 = 6 incorrect questions.  Another strategy would be to find the fraction of questions Ethan missed, which is one minus the fraction he got RIGHT.  1 - 3/5 or 3/5 + ___ = 1 (5/5).  He missed 2/5 of the questions, so you can multiply 2/5 by the total to get (2/5 x 15 = 6) 6 incorrect answers.  Hope this helps!

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180

180 - 97 - 34 = 49

150 / Sin 34 =  b / Sin 49

multiply both sides by Sin 49

(Sin (49)* 150) / Sin 34 = b

b = 270.39 feet

In the sequence 400, 200, 150, 75, 25...... what number comes next
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The next term in the sequence = -175

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given sequence is : 400, 200, 150, 75, 25...

Now here, in the given sequence,

First Term - Second Term = 400 - 200 = 200

Second Term -   Third Term   =  200  - 150  = 50

Third term  - Fourth Term  = 150 - 75   = 75

Fourth term - Fifth term = 75 - 25 =  50

So, following this pattern,

Fifth Term - Sixth term = 200

Or, 25 - Sixth Term = 200

or, Sixth term  =  25 - 200  = - 175

Hence, the next term in the sequence = -175
