How many times does 8 oz go into 20,000 lbs

1 answer:

3 0

To solve the given question we need to convert our units to be uniform
1 oz=0.0625 lbs
thus
8 oz=(8*0.0625)lbs=0.5 lbs
thus the number of 0.5 lbs in 20000 lbs are:
20000/0.5
=40,000 times
therefore we conclude that 0.8 oz goes into 20000 lbs, forty thousand times

40, 10, 5/2 5/8... (fractions) is it arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms PLZ HELP DUE IN 10 MINS

patriot [66]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$40,\:10,\:\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{5}{8}$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{1}{4}$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

As the first element of the sequence is

$a_1=40$

Therefore, the nth term is calculated as

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put n = 5 to find the next term

$a_5=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}$

$a_5=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^4}$

$a_5=\frac{40}{4^4}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^8}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{2^5}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

now, Put n = 6 to find the 6th term

$a_6=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1}$

$a_6=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^5}$

$a_6=\frac{40}{4^5}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^{10}}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{2^7}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Thus, the next two terms of the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8... is:

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Please help me. Factor. 5x^+23x+26

 5x2-23x=-26 Two solutions were found : x = 2 x = 13/5 = 2.600

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

5*x^2-23*x-(-26)=0

Step by step solution :Skip Ad
 Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (5x2 - 23x) - -26 = 0 Step 2 :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 5x2-23x+26

The first term is, 5x2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -23x its coefficient is -23 .
The last term, "the constant", is +26 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • 26 = 130

Step-2 : Find two factors of 130 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -23 .

-130 + -1 = -131 
 -65 + -2 = -67 
 -26 + -5 = -31 
 -13 + -10 = -23 That's it

Find the distance between points (5,1) and (3,4) to the nearest tenth

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

3.6 units (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

= $\sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2} + (y1 - y2)^{2} }$

Thus, distance between the 2 points

= √[(5 - 3)² + (1 - 4)²]

= √[ 2²+ ( - 3)²]

= √13

= 3.6 units (nearest tenth)
