What percentage of the survey respondents did not like either soccer or volleyball?

Find the explicit formula that produces the given sequence. 3/2, 3/4, 3/8, 3/16,...

lara [203]

$\frac{3}{2};\ \frac{3}{4};\ \frac{3}{8};\ \frac{3}{16};\ ...\\\\a_1=\frac{3}{2}\\\\a_2=\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_3=\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\\\\a_4=\frac{3}{16}=\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\\\vdots$
$a_n=\frac{3}{2}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}=\frac{3}{2}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n=\frac{3}{2}\cdot2\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n=3\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n$

9.99x10 ^-2 + 1.11 × 10^-2 i dont have the same scientific calculator as the one from school. Would like to verify my math is co

Rufina [12.5K]

The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it. If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.

(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them

9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = 11.1 (x 10^-2) .

Can we do any more with that ?

10^-2 = 1 / 10^2 = 1 / 100 .

11.1 x 10^-2 = 11.1 / 100 = 0.111

Three women, Chantel, Marissa, and Qian, enjoy running laps around a circular track. Each women runs at a constant speed. It tak

lubasha [3.4K]

It takes 150 seconds for Qian to complete the track.

Let she runs the track in the clockwise direction.

In 60 seconds, she runs $\frac{60}{150}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ th of the track.

Since she meets Marissa, who is running in the opposite (counter clockwise) direction in every 60 seconds, Marissa should have completed $\frac{3}{5}$ th of the track.

Chantel meets Marissa in every 300 seconds.

So, in 60 seconds, she advances Marissa by $\frac{1}{5}$ th of the track.

Hence, in 300 seconds, Qian, Marissa and Chantel all meets at the starting point.

ALITER;

Marissa meets Qian in every 60 seconds.

So, Marissa and Qian meet each other in 60th, 120th, 180th, 240th and 300th second.

But, it is given that Chantel meets Marissa in every 300 seconds.

So, in 300 seconds, Qian, Marissa and Chantel meet each other.

mr_godi [17]

With the information given, we can set up the following system of equations:

$x + y = 895$
$x - y = 177$

x represents how many songs Jennie has, and y represents how many songs Diamond has.
