Answer:

  25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming miles-per-gallon is a constant, the amount of gas is proportional to the miles driven:

  gallons/(500 mi) = (13 gal)/(260 mi)

  gallons = (500 mi)/(260 mi)(13 gal) . . . . multiply by 500 mi

  gallons = 25 gal . . . . do the arithmetic

The van will need 25 gallons of gas to go 500 miles.

The infinite sequence 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ... exhibits which pattern? multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, m
Amanda [17]
The correct response is ;
<span>multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.
if term number is x,
the number in the pattern for xth term is ;
multiply term number by 2 - 2x
subtract 1 - 2x - 1
multiply by 2 times the term number - (2x-1) * 2x
divide by 2 - (</span>(2x-1) * 2x)/2
so first term x=1
((2*1-1) * 2*1)/2
2/2 = 1
second term x = 2
((2*2-1) * 2*2)/2
(3*4)/2 = 6
third term x = 3
((2*3-1) * 2*3)/2
5*6/2 = 15
fourth term  x= 4
((2*4-1) * 2*4)/2
56/2 = 28
Therefore the above response shows the correct pattern
