Rocco mowed 1 lawn a week.
You wanna divide Carley’s total mowed lawns by the amount of weeks she mowed for.
18/6 = 3
Carley mowed 3 lawns a week.
We’ll take away two from that because she mowed two more that Rocco each week, resulting in Rocco mowing one lawn a week.
Hope this helps!! :))
To find the next term in an arithmetic sequence, your best bet would be to use the formula N(x)= N(1) + (x-1)*d, where x stands for the term you want to find, N(1) stands for the first number in the sequence, and d stands for the common difference between the numbers.
First, lets see what we can plug in. We know the first term in the sequence (N(1)) is 11, we know that we want to find the 23rd number in the sequence (x), and by subtracting the 2nd term by the 1st term (14-11), the common difference (d) is 3. When we plug that all into our equation, it should end up looking something like this: N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3.
Next, we can break down the equation to solve it step by step using PEMDAS. Parenthesis go first, so N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + (22)*3. We don't have any exponents, so we can skip the E. Next, we do multiplication and division from left to right, so N(23)= 11 + (22)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + 66. Finally, we do addition and subtraction from left to right, getting us from N(23)= 11 + 66 to N(23)= 77, which means that the 23rd number in the sequence is 77!
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
x 100 = 25%
We have
a2 = 4
a3 = 2
a4 = 1
calculate the
difference
a3 - a2 = -2
a4 - a3 = -1
The differences
are not equal---------- >the sequence is not arithmetic.
Getting the
ratio:
a3/a2 = 0.5
a4/a3 = 0.5
The common ratio
is 0.5. Using the general form for a geometric series:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
for n = 2----------------
> a2=4
4 = a1 (0.5)^(2-1)
a1 = 8
therefore
an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)
the answer is an = 8 (1/2)^(n-1)
the answer is none of those indicated in the question
You can either convert -3 into a fraction, or convert -2/5 into a decimal so you can solve this.
If you decide to convert -3, into a fraction, it would be -3/1, and you'd have to multiply that by the reciprocal of -2/5.
So, you'd have -3/1(-5/2)=15/2, which can be simplified to 7 1/2.
If you decide to convert -2/5 into a decimal, you would get -0.4. You would then divide -3 by -0.4, which is equal to 7.5.
Both 7.5 and 7 1/2 are correct answers, and if you were to convert 7.5 into a fraction and 7 1/2 into a decimal, you would notice that they are the same number, but in different forms.
