Answer:

A. neither; 7, -20, 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence 1/3, 0, 1, -2 ...

The difference between the terms are; -1/3, 1, -3......

Looking the difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, we can predict the next differences between the following terms, as the differences form a geometric sequence;

Therefore; -1/3, 1, -3, 9, -27, 81

Thus; the sequence will be;

1/3, 0, 1, -2 , (-2+9), (-2+9+-27), (-2+9+-27+81)

1/3, 0, 1, -2, 7, -20, 61

Hence the next three terms are; 7, -20, 61

Find the percent of decrease from 340 to 260. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.
Marina CMI [18]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.


1. We assume, that the number 340 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 340, so we can write it down as 100%=340.

4. We know, that x% equals 260 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=260.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=340

2) x%=260

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=340/260

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.


7. Solution for 260 is what percent of 340


100%/x%=340/260

(100/x)*x=(340/260)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.30769230769*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.30769230769) to get x

100/1.30769230769=x

76.4705882353=x

x=76.4705882353


now we have:

260 is 76.4705882353% of 340

Is 6200 ft greater or less than 1 mile 900 ft
Sphinxa [80]
1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

Add 900 to it:

5280 + 900 = 6180

6180 is less than 6200, so 1 mile and 900 feet is less than 6200 feet.
