Answer:it will take the two plants 6 weeks before the heights are the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Jill planted two flowers in her garden.
The first flower is 2 inches tall, and it is growing 2.25 inches each week. Since the growth rate is in an arithmetic progression, we will apply the formula for finding the nth term of the series
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Tn = the nth height of the first flower
a = the initial height of the first flower
d = the common difference in height of the first flower weekly
n = number of weeks
From the information given,
For the first flower,
a = 2
d = 2.25
Tn ?
n ?
Tn = 2 + (n - 1)2.25
For the second flower,
a = 5.75
d = 1.5
Tn ?
n ?
Tn = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5
To determine the number of weeks that it will take until the two plants are the same height, we would equate Tn for both flowers. It becomes
2 + (n - 1)2.25 = 5.75 + (n - 1)1.5
2 + 2.25n - 2.25 = 5.75 + 1.5n - 1.5
Collecting like terms
2.25n - 1.5n = 5.75 - 1.5 - 2 + 2.25
0.75n = 4.5
n = 4.5/0.75
n = 6 weeks
45/56
5/7 divided 8/9
5/7 times 9/8
45/56
Answer:
£15.7
Step-by-step explanation:
32 cans x 50P = 1600p
1600p to Pounds = £26.66 (1600 divided by 60)
Remaining cans = 18 (50 - 32)
18 cans x 20p = 360p
360p to Pounds = £6 (360 divided by 60)
£26.66 + £6 = £32.66
£32.66 (Profit) - £17 (Cost of cans) = £15.66
15.66 to 3SF = 15.7
905 or 2045 because I think those are the right answer
Answer:
(3x-1)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find two numbers that when they multiply, you get the third term,
which is -5 in this problem. And when they add up, you get the second term,
which is 14 in this problem.
