Answer:
<u>The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:
Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet
Number of students = 13
2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)
9/2 * 13 = 117/2
<u>117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)
(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)
(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2
<u>52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
Answer:
<u>The sequence is</u>
- 1, 1 + 2, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, ...
Each term is the sum of the consecutive numbers from 1 to that number.
<u>The nth term is the sum of the first n numbers:</u>
- aₙ = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
- aₙ = 1/2n(1 + n) (formula for sum of the n terms of arithmetic progression with the first term of 1 and common difference of 1)
- aₙ = n(n + 1)/2
1) The number of circles in the nth pile is n(n + 1)/2
2) When n tends to infinity the number of circles tends to infinity
Answer:
He could make 16 piles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 48 by 3: 48 ÷ 3 = 16
Answer:
C) The parabola is narrower and reflected across the x-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original parabola has equation:

The transformed parabola has equation

How wide the graph is can be determined by the absolute value of the coefficient.
The smaller the absolute value of the coefficient, the wider the graph.
Since

The original graph is wider than the transformed graph.
Also the negative factor tells us there is a reflection in the x-axis.
Answer:
Surface area is found:
Surface Area = 1700 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
(The cereal box is shown in the ATTACHMENT)
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be found by added the areas of all 6 sides of the rectangular prism.
L = length = 20 cm
H = height = 30 cm
W = Width = 5 cm
<h3 /><h3>Side 1:</h3>
A(1) = L×H
A(1) = 20×30
A(1) = 600 cm²
<h3>Side 2:</h3>
As the measurements of the side at the back of side 1 has the same measurement of side 1. then:
A(2) = 600 cm²
<h3>Side 3:</h3>
A(3) = L×W
A(3) = 20×5
A(3) = 100 cm²
<h3>Side 4:</h3>
As the measurements of the side at the back of side 4 has the same measurement of side 4. then:
A(4) = 100 cm²
<h3>Side 5:</h3>
A(5) = H×W
A(5) = 30×5
A(5) = 150 cm²
<h3>Side 6:</h3>
As the measurements of the side at the back of side 5 has the same measurement of side 5. then:
A(6) = 150 cm²
<h3>Surface Area:</h3>
Adding areas of all the sides
A(1) + A(2) + A(3) +A(4) + A(5) + A(6) = 600 + 600 + 100 +100 + 150 +150
Surface Area = 1700 cm²
