Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the general equation for an arithmetic sequence,

a_{n}=a_{1}+d(n-1),

where aₙ is the number of minutes for movie n,

a₁ is the length of the first movie in minutes, and

d is the difference between each movie, in minutes

Our sequence is this:

a_{n}=70+2(n-1)

If we want the length of the second movie (we already know the length of the first), we fill in n with 2:

a_{2}=70+2(2-1)

which gives us a length of 72.  Now for the length of movie n = 3:

a_{3}=70+2(3-1)

which gives us a length of 74.  Now for the length of movie n = 4:

a_{4}=70+2(4-1)

which gives us a length of 76.  One more and I'm sure you'll notice the pattern:

a_{5}=70+2(5-1)

which gives us a length of 78.  Now we will find the length of the 14th movie and add up by 2's all the way up to that number of minutes:

a_{14}=70+2(14-1)

which gives up a length of 96 minutes.  We will add up by 2's from 70 to 96:

70+72+74+76+78+80+82+84+86+88+90+92+94+96=1,162 min

What is 6.54 as a mixed number
Andrews [41]
The number given in the question is in decimal form. It has to be first changed to fraction and then only can it be changed to a mixed fraction. The calculations have to be done correctly and then the problem is very straight forward.Now let us concentrate on the problem in hand.
Then
6.54 = 654/100
       = 327/50
       = 6 27/50
From the above deduction we can definitely conclude that the mixed number for 6.54 is 5 27/50. I hope this simple procedure will help you to attempt such type of problems in future without requiring any additional help.

Trey wants to plant grass in his backyard. His backyard is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 31
salantis [7]
Find the total area of the yard in feet.

Area of a rectangle is length x width.

31 x 24 = 744

Divide the total area of the yard by the coverage of the seeds.

744/12 = 62

He will need 62 packs of seed.
