Answer:

3, 5, 8, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁ = 2 + 1 = 3

a₄ = a₃ + a₂ = 3 + 2 = 5

a₅ = a₄ + a₃ = 5 + 3 = 8

a₆ = a₅ + a₄ = 8 + 5 = 13

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of

ohaa [14]

The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .

If x= 19 feet and y = 12 feet, what is the area and perimeter of the figure above?

Delicious77 [7]

All we need to do to solve this problem is calculate the area of a rectangle and the area of a circle, then add them!

____________________________

First, let's do the rectangle!

Area of a rectangle = length x width

or in this case... Area = "x" times "y"

Area = 19 × 12 = 228 square feet!

________________________________

Now, let's do the circle!

Area of a circle = πr² ... (r = radius)

* In this diagram, the diameter of the circle is also the same length as "y"!

* And remember that radius is half of the diameter.

radius = 6

Now, let's actually calculate the area

Area = π(6)² ⇒ 36π

Area = 113.1 (I rounded up the decimals!)

_______________________________________

*But wait! Look at the figure! It looks like HALF of the circle's area was included when we calculated the area of the rectangle! This means that we should divide the area of the circle (that we just calculated) in half!

Area of the HALF CIRCLE = 113.1 ÷ 2 = 56.5

Now let's add the area of the rectangle to the area of the half-circle to find the area of THE ENTIRE FIGURE!

228 + 56.5 = 284.5

284.5 square feet is our answer!

The charge for a bicylce repair was $9.28 for parts, 1/4 hour of labor at $18 per hour, and a $2 shop fee. What was the total co

Bas_tet [7]

9.28 plus 2 is 11.28. 1/4 of 18 is 4.50. Add 4.50 to 9.28 and your total is $15.78.

The equation would be:
9.28+18(.25)+2=c

kherson [118]

You are permitted to give up to $13,000 each year to any individual without acquiring gift tax liability. So, Barry and Mary each can gift $13,000 to anyone of their choosing. For eight recipients (3 children and 5 grandchildren), each can gift $104,000. Consequently, Barry and Mary can offer $208,000 ($104,000 x 2) to their children and grandchildren in 2013.
