Answer:

after week 7: 4374 pennies
486 pennies: after week 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence values have a first term of 6 and a common ratio of 3, so can be described by the formula ...

an = 6·3^(n-1)

This can be rearranged to ...

an = 2·3^n

__

When n=7, the value is ...

a7 = 2·3^7 = 4374 . . . . pennies saved after 7 weeks

__

To find when there are 486 pennies saved, we can solve the equation ...

486 = 2·3^n

243 = 3^n

log(243) = n·log(3) . . . . . . . take the logarithm

log(243)/log(3) = n = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

Tabitha will have saved 486 pennies after 5 weeks.

An author works on a new book and after writing a few chapters, begins a new plan to write 600 words per day. On the fifth day o

kari74 [83]

1,500
Explanation
In y=600x + b the y is the total words and the x is the amount of days. We have the days (5 days) and we have the total amount of words. So we have to find b which is what they started off with. So what we can do is try 600words multiplied by 5 days. We should get 3000. So now we known in the span of 5 days they wrote 3000 words. Now we can subtract 4,500 and 3000, which gives us 1500. The author started off with 1,500 words. To check we just add the info in y=600(5)+1500 which gives us 4,500 .

Hopes that helps

what is 6 cups of flour and 2/3 cup of butter write the ratio of the amount of flour to the amount of butter as a fraction in si

Kipish [7]

So if we want the ratio of flour to butter in fraction form, we want the amount of butter to be on top: $\frac{9}{ \frac{2}{3} }$

However, it needs to be in simplest form, which means not a complex fraction. To make it a simple fraction, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
$\frac{9}{1} * \frac{3}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = \frac{9}{1}$

So, the ratio of flour to butter is $\frac{9 cups of flour}{1 cup of butter}$ (the text in the fraction formatted weirdly, sorry about that)

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)
