There are several possible terms which can be included given the sequence formula an = 4n - 7. If we list all the possibilities, here are as follows:
n an
0 -7
1 -3
2 1
3 5
. .
. .
. .
n an
Substitute any number n to an and you can get all the terms in the sequence.
The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
Answer:
I want to say the answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
AOB = 73
BOC = 107
Step-by-step explanation:
So make an equation.
9x + 27 = 180
9x = 153
x = 17
AOB = 73
BOC = 107
Ratio and Proportion Method
Since both are at the same rate, then ratio and proportion can be applied here
If $40000 = $860
Then $55000 =55000x(860/40000)
=$1182.50
Therefore the taxes which would be on $55000 is $1182.50
