Of the 50 states, 2/5 of the states starts with M A or N. How can you use equivalent fractions to find out how many states this

is?

You can find an equivalent fraction.

2/5 = 20/50

That means that here are 20 states that start with M A or N.

There are 50 states, and 2/5 start with M A or N, and 2/5 in percent form is 40%. And, 50*40%, which is the same as 50*0.4, equals 20. So twenty states start with M, A, or N.

Oana cheltuiește o sumă de bani în trei zile. În prima zi Oana cheltuiește jumătate din sumă, a
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

700 lei  

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a geometric sequence for which you know the common ratio and the last term.

There are only three terms, so you can solve the problem in either of two ways.

1. The brute force method (easiest for only a few terms)

Each term is half the one before it, so each term is double the one after it.

3rd term =  100 lei

2nd term = 200

 1st term = 400      

     Total  = 700 lei        

Oana spent 700 lei

2. Using formulas  (best for longer sequences)

The general formula for your sequence is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

For your sequence,

a₃ = 100; r = 0.5

(a) Calculate a₁

Set the last term equal to the general formula.

a₃ = a₁(0.5)ⁿ⁻¹

100 = a₁(0.5)² = 0.25a₁

a₁ = 100/0.25 = 400

(b) Calculate the sum

The general formula for the sum of a geometric sequence is

\begin{array}{rcl}S_{n}& =& \dfrac{a_{1}(1 - r^{n}) }{ 1 - r}\\\\S_{3}& =& \dfrac{400(1 - 0.5^{3}) }{ 1 - 0.5}\\\\& =& \dfrac{400(1 - 0.125) }{ 0.5}\\\\& =& \dfrac{400\times0.875 }{ 0.5}\\\\& = & \mathbf{700}\\\end{array}

Oana spent 700 lei.

Lara’s photo album will hold 5 pictures on each page. She wants to fill all 43 pages with vacation photos. How many photos will
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The answer is that Lara would need 9 pages to store all her photos.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to first divided 43 divided by 5 to get 8.6.

However, you can't have a tenth of a page so you would have to round to 9 so the answer is that Lara would need 9 pages to store all her photos.

Earl is ordering supplies. Yellow paper costs $4.00 per ream while white paper costs $7.50 per ream. He would like to order 100
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Earl should order 76 yellow paper reams and 24 white paper reams.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be computed as system of equations.

I will say that x is the number of yellow paper reams and that y is the number of white paper reams.

Earl will order 100 reams in total, so

x + y = 100

He has a budget of $484, so this is what he is going to spend. Each yellow paper ream(x) costs $4.00 and each white paper ream costs $7.50, so we know that

4x + 7.5y = 484

To know how many reams of each color should he order, we need to solve the following system of equations

1) x + y = 100

2) 4x + 7.5y = 484

I am going to write x as a function of y in equation 1), and then replace it in equation 2).

x = 100-y

Now replacing in equation 2)

4(100-y) + 7.5y = 484

400 - 4y + 7.5y = 484

3.5y = 84

y = 24.

Returning to equation 1)

x = 100-y = 100-24 = 76

So, Earl should order 76 yellow paper reams and 24 white paper reams.
