STEP 1:
Total runners originally= 8
# of runners to receive trophies= 4

8-2 drop outs= 6 runners total now

STEP 2:
= # of trophies ÷ total runners now
= 4/6
simplify by 2
= (4÷2)/(6÷2)
= 2/3 runners

ANSWER: 2/3 of the remaining runners will win a trophy.

Hope this helps! :)

write an expression to describe a rule for the sequence. Then find the 100th term in the sequence 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, ...
blagie [28]
As we can tell, the first number is 3, so we'll have a y-intercept in our equation and overall. Secondly, we can tell it's increasing by 7 each time, so we can tell that's the rate. But, it won't just be 3+7x, if we plug 1 in, it would be 10 and not 3. We need to put in the parenthesis 3+7(x-1). If we put one in, we would receive three. Let's make sure this works.
3+7(5-1)
3+7(4)
3+28
31
31 is the fifth terms.
So the expression would be 3+7(x-1).
Let's find the 100th term.
3+7(100-1)
3+7(99)
3+693
696
So the 100th term would be 696.
