There were 13,500 people in the stadium. you multiply the amount of teenagers(270) by 100 then divide by 2, then you get 13,500 people.
The sequence is an arithmetic sequence with
a₁ = -4
d = a₂ - a₁
d = -1 - (-4)
d = -1 + 4
d = 3
an = x
Sn = 437
General formula in arithmetic sequence
Formula to find nth term
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
Formula to find sum of sequence (sn)
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
We have to make an equation system based on the problem
plug the numbers into the formula
First equation
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3(n - 1)
x = -4 + 3n - 3
x = 3n - 7
Second equation
Sn = n/2 (a₁ + an)
n/2 (a₁ + an) = 437
n/2 (-4 + x) = 437
n(x - 4) = 874
xn - 4n = 874
Solve the equation system by subtitution method
Subtitute x with 3n - 7 in the second equation
xn - 4n = 874
(3n - 7)n - 4n = 874
3n² - 7n - 4n = 874
3n² - 11n - 874 = 0
(3n + 46)(n - 19) = 0
n = -46/3 or n = 19
Because the number of terms shouldn't be negative, -46/3 isn't required, so the value of n is 19.
Solve for x, back to the first equatin
x = 3n - 7
x = 3(19) - 7
x = 57 - 7
x = 50
The solution is 50
Answer:
1.2 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
1 bucket has a volume of 80 cL.
15 buckets have a volume of 15 * 80 cL = 120 cL
1 L = 100 cL
120 cL * (1 L)/(100 cL) = 1.2 L
