I divided the two fractions & drew a model.

So we know that the bird seed will last 2.5 days.
Knowing this, we can go with:
B. Rectangle model divided into six equal sections, five sections are labeled five-sixths and two sections are labeled one-third, equaling two and one-half days.
Let me know if you find any problems with my answer.
Let
The origin of coordinates the tree
r1 = vector position of the child 1.
r2 = vector position of the child 2
Child 1:
r1 = (12i + 12j)
Child 2:
r2 = (-18i + 11j)
The scalar product will be given by:
r1.r2 = ((12) * (- 18)) + ((12) * (11)) = - 84
The scalar product of their net displacements from the tree is -84m ^ 2
The rectangle length is 16.5 cm.
The rectangle width is 5.5 cm.
Answer: it will take 9 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The water level was initially at 34feet it was receding at the rate of a foot per day. The rate at which it was receding is linear, thus, it is in an arithmetic progression. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as
Tn = a+(n-1)d
Where
a is the first term if the sequence
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = 34 feet because it is the initial height
n is the number of days it will take to get to 26 ft
d = -1 because it is decreasing by 1 foot per day.
Tn = T26 = 26 feet. Therefore, the equation will be
Tn = 34 -1(n-1)
To find for T26,
26= 34 + (n - 1)-1
26 - 34 = -n + 1
n - 1 = 8
n = 8 + 1 = 9
