Answer:he must save an average of $150 or more in each of the remaining 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Helsley wishes to save at least $1500 in 12 months. If he saved $300 during the first 4 months, then the amount left would be

≥ 1500 - 300

Let x represent the least possible average amount that he must save in each of the remaining 8 months. This means that the total amount that he would save in the last 8 months would be 8x. Therefore,

300 + 8x ≥ 1500

8x ≥ 1500 - 300

8x ≥ 1200

x ≥1200/8

x ≥ 150

The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours

What is Speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude

Speed = Distance / Time

Given data ,

Let the speed of the bottle in the river be S = 7 km/h

Let the distance traveled by the bottle in the river be D = 6741 km

Now , the time taken by the bottle to reach the distance D with speed S is calculated by the equation

Speed = Distance / Time

and ,

Time = Distance / Speed

Substituting the values of distance and speed in the equation , we get

Time taken by the bottle = 6741 / 7

                                          = 963 hours

Therefore , the time required is 963 hours

Hence , The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours

Identify the explicit function for the sequence in the table
nignag [31]
The common difference is 19-7 = 31-19 = 12, so this is an arithmetic sequence. The initial term (when n=1) is 7.

The explicit formula for the terms of an arithmetic sequence is
  an = a1 + d(n-1)
where "a1" is the first term and "d" is the common difference. The formula that matches a1=7 and d=12 is
  B. a(n) = 7+(n-1)·12
