One pumpkin weighs 7 lb 12 oz. A second pumpkin with 10 pounds 4 ounces. A pumpkin weighs 2 pounds 9 ounces more than the second
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:  30 lbs, 13 oz

This converts to 493 ounces

===============================================================

Explanation:

Pumpkin A weighs 7 lb, 12 oz. Let's convert that to ounces only

1 lb = 16 oz

7 lbs = 112 oz (multiply both sides by 7)

7 lbs, 12 oz = 112 oz + 12 oz .... add 12 oz to both sides

7 lbs, 12 oz = 124 oz

Pumpkin A's weight of 7 lbs, 12 oz is the same as 124 oz

-----------

Do something similar for pumpkin B

1 lb = 16 oz

10 lbs = 160 oz

10 lbs, 4 oz = 160 oz + 4 oz

10 lbs, 4 oz = 164 oz

Pumpkin B weighs 164 oz

-----------

Let's convert the "2 lbs, 9 oz" to ounces only

1 lb = 16 oz

2 lbs = 32 oz

2 lbs, 9 oz = 32 oz + 9 oz

2 lbs, 9 oz = 41 oz

So pumpkin C is 41 ounces heavier compared to pumpkin B

The weight of pumpkin C is 164+41 = 205 ounces

----------

We have these three weights in ounces only

  • Pumpkin A = 124 oz
  • Pumpkin B = 164 oz
  • Pumpkin C = 205 oz

Adding those three ounces only weights leads to

124+164+205 = 493 ounces

The total weight of all three pumpkins is 493 ounces

Now let's convert back to the unit "pounds, ounces"

Divide that result over 16 since there are 16 ounces per pound

493/16 = 30.8125

Ignore the decimal portion. The 30 is the quotient which means 493-30*16 = 13 is the remainder.

In other words,

493/16 = 30 remainder 13

which leads to

493 ounces = 30 pounds, 13 ounces

--------------

As a check,

1 lb = 16 oz

30 lbs = 480 oz

30 lbs, 13 oz = 480 oz + 13 oz

30 lbs, 13 oz = 493 oz

The answer is confirmed.

Answer:

A whole number first term to render as fifth term a value larger than 10000, should be at least 121

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as recursive since it involves the previous number of the sequence, and defined as:

a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6

we also know that the first term is 4

Then in this case, the first five terms are:

a_1=4\\a_2=4*3+6=18\\a_3=18*3+6=60\\a_4=60*3+6=186\\a_5=186*3+6=564\\

So if we want to find the first term in the case that the fifth one is greater than 10,000 using this recursive formula, now we have to start backwards, and say that the fifth term is "> 10000" and what the fourth one is.

Notice that if you have this definition for the nth term, we can obtain from it, what the previous term is to find the general rule:

a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6\\a_n-6=a_{n-1}*3\\\frac{a_n-6}{3} = a_{n-1}\\a_{n-1}=\frac{a_n}{3} -2

So the rule is to subtract 6 from he term, and divide the subtraction by 3. Then working backwards:

a_5>10000\\\frac{a_5}{3} -2>\frac{10000}{3} -2\\a_4>=\frac{10000}{3} -2\\\frac{a_4}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{3}-2}{3}-2 =\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\a_3>\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\\frac{a_3}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} }{3} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{8}{9} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\a_2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\\frac{a_2}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}}{3} -2=\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27} \\a_1>\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27}\approx 120.49

therefore, the starting first term should be at least about 121 to give a fifth term larger than 10,000
