Answer:

a = 2, r = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term of a GP = a×r^(n-1)

Where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio

4th term = a×r^3 = 250

r^3 = 250/a

7th term = a×r^6 = 31250

a×r^6 = 31250

a×(r^3)^2 = 31250

a×(250/a)^2 = 31250

a×(62500/a^2) = 31250

62500/a = 31250

a = 62500/31250 = 2

a = 2

since r^3 = 250/a,

r^3 = 250/2 = 125

r = (125)^(1/3)

r = 5

THE GREATEST PRODUCT
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

<em>7*6543=45801</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the digits 34567 and must arrange them into a product with the largest possible value.

It's clear that we must place the largest digits to the left, so they represent larger numbers to multiply.

Let's try with:

7654*3=22962

765*43=32895

76*543=41268

7*6543=45801

This last combination definitely produces the largest product

Answer: 7*6543=45801

Two​-thirds of the​ T-shirts in a​ T-shirt shop are blue. Three​-fifths of those​ T-shirts are on sale. ​One-half of the blue​ T
katrin2010 [14]

Let, total number of T-shirts are x.

Number of blue T-shirts = (2/3)x = 2x/3 .

Number of blue shirts on sale = (3/5)(2x/3) = 2x/5 .

Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale = (1/5)(2x/5) = 2x/25 .

Fraction of the​ shop's T-shirts are blue​ T-shirts that are on sale and are size​ medium = \dfrac{2x/25}{x}= 2/25 . ( Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale divided by total number of T-shirts )

Hence, this is the required solution.

enot [183]
916...the 9 is in the hundreds place so its value is 900
791...the 9 is in the tens place so its value is 90

900/90 = 10
so the 9 in 916 is 10 times bigger then the 9 in 791
