No because u would multiply to get a common denominator and it would be 4/6 5/6
We notice that:
9-6 = 3
12-9 = 3 , Then we can conclude that this is an arithmetic progression with:
1st term a₁ = 6 and with common difference d = 3
So the first term is 6 and the last term is 93.
the formula of the sum in a A.P is :
S = (a + last term).n/2, n being the rank of the last term. So to be
able to find S, we have to calculate the value of n
We know that the last value of a A.P is :
last value = a₁ + (n-1)d
93 = 6 +(n-1)(3) → 93 = 6 + 3n -3 → n = 90/3 → n = 30 (rank 30th)
Now we can find the sum:
S = (a₁ + last term)n/2
S = (6+93)30/2
S = (99).15 = 1,485
She used 3/8 of the cheese. Since she used 1/2 <em>of</em> 3/4, you multiply 3/4 times 1/2. If you multiply straight across, the answer should be 3/8. If you need further explanation, just ask! Hope this helps! =D :D
