Answer: The missing number in the sequence is \frac{7}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{2},\frac{5}{6},----------,\frac{11}{2}

First term = a= \frac{1}{6}

Common difference = d is given by

d=a_2-a_1\\\\\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{6-2}{12}\\\\=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\Similarly,\\d=a_3-a_2\\\\=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{10-6}{12}\\\\=\frac{4}{12}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, it forms an arithmetic sequence.

Since, a_4 is missing,

So,

a_4=a+3d\\\\a_4=\frac{1}{6}+3\times \frac{1}{3}\\\\a_4=\frac{1}{6}+1\\\\a_4=\frac{1+6}{6}\\\\a_4=\frac{7}{6}

Hence, the missing number in the sequence is \frac{7}{6}

This is an <span>arithmetic progression at a rate of 2/6. 

So 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6 (1/2)
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
5/6 + 2/6 = 7/6
....
29/6 + 2/6 = 31/6 
31/6 +2/6 = 33/6 (11/2)</span>

A shopping mall parking garage charges $2 for the first half hour and $1.20 for each additional half hour (even if it is under 3
Neko [114]

You can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, shopping mall parking garage charges $2 for the first half hour and $1.20 for each additional half hour (even if it is under 30 minutes)

Therefore,

Cost for first half an hour = $ 2

Cost for each additional half an hour = $ 1.20

Let "x" be the number of each additional half hour

Therefore, total cost to pay is given as:

Total cost = Cost for first half an hour + (Cost for each additional half an hour)(number of each additional half hour)

Total cost = 2 + 1.20x

<em><u>Given you have $ 8 in cash</u></em>

8 = 2 + 1.20x\\\\1.20x = 8 - 2\\\\1.20x = 6\\\\x = \frac{6}{1.20}\\\\x = 5

Total hours parked = first half an hour + 5

Thus you can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
