Answer:
3 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio = teeth on front sprocket : teeth on rear sprocket
= 36 : 12 ( divide both parts of the ratio by 12 )
= 3 : 1 ← in simplest form
Answer: 11,700 times
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the number of seconds in 3 minutes 15 seconds.
Each minute is 60 seconds so 3 minutes would be:
= 3 * 60
= 180
Add the 15:
= 195 seconds
Lightning strikes more than 60 times per second so we shall use 60 times
= 60 * 195
= 11,700 times
Answer:
The expression that represents the given sequence is 5+6(n-1). Option C (not labeled).
Explanation:
<u>Arithmetic Sequences</u>
In an arithmetic sequence, each term can be obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That fixed number is called the common difference.
We are given the following sequence:
5, 11, 17, 23, 29, ...
Each term is located in a position starting from n=1. Let's test each option:
A For n=1 we should have the first term (5). Substituting n=1 into the general equation: 5+6(n+1) = 5+6(1+1) = 5+12 = 17. Since the resulting term is not 5, this option is incorrect.
B For n=1, 6+5(n+1)= 6+5(2)=16. This option is incorrect.
C (not labeled) For n=1, 5+6(n-1)=5+6(1-1)=5+0=5. The first term is correct. Let's test for the second term (n=2):
5+6(2-1)=5+6=11. Correct. For n=3
5+6(3-1)=5+12=17. Correct.
We can see the terms are increasing by 6, and the given sequence is also increasing by 6. Thus, This option is correct.
D For n=1, 6+5 (n-1)=6+0=6. This option is incorrect.
