We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

What is the tenth term in the sequence 9, 13, 17, 21, 25…?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

9, 13, 17, 21, 25

We are adding 4 each time

9+4 = 13

13+4 =17

17+4 = 21

The common difference =4

a1 = 9

The formula is

an = a1+d(n-1) where n is the term number

an = 9+4(n-1)

We want the 10th term

a10 = 9+4(10-1)

     = 9+4(9)

    = 9+36

   = 45

I need help..... please answer ASAP if you know how to solve this

For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
