Answer:
1 1/7
Step-by-step
E is on the 1 1/7 point on the number line
Let number of cranberries did Carissa eat on Thanksgiving Thursday = x
Given that she ate 7 cranberries on each following day so that seems she is following arithmetic sequence.
Whose first term is a = x
common difference d = 7
Given that on following Wednesday night, she had eaten a
total of 161 cranberries for the whole week.
Wednesday means on 7th day from thanksgiving day.
Then sum of 7 terms of the sequence is 161
S7=161
Sum of arithmetic sequcen is given by formula:
322-294=14x
28=14x
2=x
Hence Carissa ate 2 cranberries on Thanksgiving Thursday.
Now we have to find the number of day on which Carissa will eat 499 cranberries.
So we will use nth term formula
72=n
Hence final answer is 72nd day.
3lb + 3x=18
3-3+3x=18-3
3x=15
3x/3=15/3
x=5
