It's a geometric sequence.

300, 150, 75,... \\ \\ a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{150}{300}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\ \Downarrow \\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2= \\
=\frac{2325}{4}=581 \frac{1}{4}=581.25

The answer is 581.25.

we have that

300 + 150 + 75 +...

Let

a1=300\\ a2=150\\ a3=75

we know that

\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{150}{300} \\\\ \frac{a2}{a1}=0.5 \\ \\ a2=a1*0.50

\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{75}{150} \\\\ \frac{a3}{a2}=0.5 \\ \\ a3=a2*0.50

so

a(n+1)=an*0.50

Is a geometric sequence

Find the value of a4

a(4)=a3*0.50

a(4)=75*0.50

a(4)=37.5

Find the value of a5

a(5)=a4*0.50

a(5)=37.5*0.50

a(5)=18.75

Find S5

S5=a1+a2+a3+a4+a5\\ S5=300+150+75+37.5+18.75\\ S5=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

Alternative Method

Applying the formula

S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\\\a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{1}{2}\\\\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2\\\\=\frac{2325}{4}\\\\=581 \frac{1}{4}\\\\=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

What is the height of the following triangle if the area is 60 square meters? Do not round your answer.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: Height = 8 m

Step-by-step explanation: We have to find h...

We're given two values

A = 60

B = 15

60 is equal to 1/2 x 15

Solve for h:

h = 60 / (1/2 x 15)

h = 60 divided by 7.5

h = 8

I hope this helps!

If 1 inch represents 36 miles on a map, how many miles does 4 + 1/4 in represent ​
xeze [42]

Answer:

153 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch = 36 miles.

First, find the measurement of miles for 1/4 inch. Divide 36 with 4:

36/4 = 9

1/4 inch. = 9 miles.

Next, find the amount of measurement of miles per 4 inches:

4 x 36 = 144 miles.

Finally, combine the two measurements together:

144 + 9 = 153 miles.

153 miles is your answer.
