Answer: the temperature at 6:00 in the evening is 39°F

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature drops 8 °F every hour after that, then the rate is linear and the rate at which the temperature is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 71 °F

d = - 8 °F (since it is decreasing)

n = 5 (2pm to 6pm)

We want to determine the value of the 5th term, T5. Therefore,

T5 = 71 - 8(5 - 1)

T5 = 71 - 32 = 39

Answer:

The answer is 39 degrees by 6:00 in the evening.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 2:00 in the afternoon and there is 4 hours, with 8 degrees dropping every hour, 8 times 4 equals 32, so 71 degrees minus 32 degrees is 39 degrees.

Find the common ratio 24,18,37/2,81/8
Vinil7 [7]

Note: The third term of the sequence should be \dfrac{27}{2} instead of \dfrac{37}{2}, otherwise the sequence has no common ratio.

Given:

The given sequence is

24,18,\dfrac{27}{2},\dfrac{81}{8}

To find:

The common ratio of the given sequence.

Solution:

The quotient of each pair of consecutive terms are:

\dfrac{18}{24}=\dfrac{3}{4}

Similarly,

\dfrac{\dfrac{27}{2}}{18}=\dfrac{27}{36}

\dfrac{\dfrac{27}{2}}{18}=\dfrac{3}{4}

And,

\dfrac{\dfrac{81}{8}}{\dfrac{27}{2}}=\dfrac{81}{8}\times \dfrac{2}{27}

\dfrac{\dfrac{81}{8}}{\dfrac{27}{2}}=\dfrac{3}{4}

Therefore, the common ratio of the given sequence is \dfrac{3}{4} or 0.75.

at one scholl at prep level there were 5 set of twins,two sets of triplets and one set of quadruplets starting school this year.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:  Fraction of twins = \frac{5}{8} Fractions of triplets = \frac{1}{4} Fractions of quadruplets = \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of set of twins = 5

Number of sets of triplets = 2

Number of sets of quadruplets = 1

Total number of sets is given by

5+2+1=8

Now, we need to find the fraction of those students.

So, Fraction of twins is given by

\frac{5}{8}

Fractions of triplets is given by

\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}

Fractions of quadruplets is given by

\frac{1}{8}
