The common ratio is the current number divided by the previous. So the ratio is 1/2
The sequence is 12, 6, 3, 3/2, 3/4 ...
You can obtain any number multiplying the previous number times 1/2.
6 = 12 *(1/2)
3 = 6*(1/2)
3/2 = 3*(1/2)
It would take 2.25 minutes to complete 3 laps because each lap takes .75 minutes.
Answer:
A (a = 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
A coordinate point is always in the form (x,y) that means the first point is always x-coordinate and the second point is always y-coordinate.
The equation given is:
5x + y = 8
The point is (a,3), so that means x = a and y = 3
We substitute the values into the equation and find a. Shown below:
5x + y = 8
5(a) + (3) = 8
5a + 3 = 8
5a = 8 - 3
5a = 5
a = 5/5
a = 1
Answer choice A is right
