Lets do the math together.

3.5/2 to find the weight loss per week= 1.75.

We know that every week the friend will reduce her goal by 1.75.

15/1.75= 8.6.

This means that in 8.6 weeks the friend will lose 15 pounds.

I hope this Helps! :)

Hello there! It should take her 8.6 weeks.

Well, the question doesn't specify whether it wants how long it'll take her in weeks, months, or days, so let's go with weeks. To do this, find the unit rate by dividing the amount she lost by the number of weeks it took.

3.5 pounds ÷ 2 weeks = 1.75 pounds lost a week.

Now, divide the total she wants to loose (15 pounds) by the 1.75 pounds a week to see how many she looses in total.

15/1.75 = 8.57142... Which is a little over 8.5 weeks, so we can round up to 8.6 weeks.

Answer:

$24.38

Step-by-step explanation:

f(h) = 3.75h + 7.50

h = 4.5

f(4.5) = 3.75(4.5) + 7.50

f(4.5) = 24.375

A wall is in the shape of a trapezium. The first level of the wall is made up of 50 bricks where as the top level has 14 bricks.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

i). 10 levels of the bricks

ii). 320 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

First level contains number of bricks = 50

Second level will contain = 50 - 4 = 46 bricks

Similarly, 3rd level will contain number of bricks = 46 - 4 = 42

Therefore, sequence formed for the number of bricks in each level of the wall will be,

50, 46, 42........14

This sequence is an arithmetic sequence having,

First term 'a' = 50

Common difference 'd' = 46 - 50 = (-4)

Last term of the sequence T_{n}= 14

i). Expression representing last term will be,

  T_{n}=a+(n-1)d

  Here T_{n} = nth term

  a = first term

  n = number of term (Number of level of the wall)

  d = common difference

  By substituting these values in the formula,

  14 = 50 + (n - 1)(-4)

  14 - 50 = (-4)(n - 1)

  -36 = -4(n - 1)

  9 = (n - 1)  

  n = 9 + 1

  n = 10

ii). Number of bricks used in the wall = Sum of the sequence

   Expression for the sum of an arithmetic sequence is,

   S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

   S_n=\frac{10}{2}[2\times 50+(10-1)(-4)]

        = 5(100 - 36)

        = 320 bricks
