Short answer 34/13Start by converting both to improper fractions.
8 1/2 = (2*8 + 1)/2 = 17/2
3 1/4 = (3*4 + 1)/4 = 13/4
Next set up a 4 layer fraction

Invert the lower fraction and multiply

Cancel the 2 and the 4 leaving you with a 2 in the numerator.
Answer:
The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
- You use the formula to find out each term.
- f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
- Now to find each term:
- n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
- n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
- n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
- n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
- n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14
So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14
9 pairs = 18 people
24 - 18 = 6
6 divided by 2 = 3 pairs
3 magnets for 3 pairs is 9 magnets.
