Answer:

Cups of soup to be prepared = 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equivalent ratios

2:5 = X:800

X = (800 x 2)/5 = 320 cups

Cups of soup to be prepared = 320

Answer:

320 coups of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of guests he expects is 800, and he thinks that 2 out of every 5 guests will order soup. So, to estimate how many cups of soup he should prepare, we can do a rule of three:

For every 5 guests, 2 will order soup, so for 800 guests, X soups will be ordered.

5 guests -> 2 soups

800 guests -> X soups

5/800 = 2/X

X = 800 * 2 / 5 = 320

He should prepare 320 coups of soup.

Some rectangles are not parallelograms
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

I'm not sure what your asking, but, no, all rectangles are parallelograms.

I found this over the internet, and I hope it helps you understand why a rectangle is always a parallelogram, but a parallelogram is not always a rectangle:

It is true that every rectangle is a parallelogram, but it is not true that every parallelogram is not a rectangle. For instance, take a square. It's a parallelogram — it is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel faces. But it is also a rectangle — it is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

PLEASE!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!
kati45 [8]

Answer:

15 = a_1 r^4 (1)

1 = a_1 r^5 (2)

If we divide equations (2) and (1) we got:

\frac{r^5}{r^4}= \frac{1}{15}

And then r= \frac{1}{15}

And then we can find the value a_1 and we got from equation (1)

a_1 = \frac{15}{r^4} = \frac{15}{(\frac{1}{15})^4} =759375

And then the general term for the sequence would be given by:

a_n = 759375 (\frac{1}{15})^n-1 , n=1,2,3,4,...

And the best option would be:

C) a1=759,375; an=an−1⋅(1/15)

Step-by-step explanation:

the general formula for a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 r^{n-1}

For this case we know that a_5 = 15, a_6 = 1

Then we have the following conditions:

15 = a_1 r^4 (1)

1 = a_1 r^5 (2)

If we divide equations (2) and (1) we got:

\frac{r^5}{r^4}= \frac{1}{15}

And then r= \frac{1}{15}

And then we can find the value a_1 and we got from equation (1)

a_1 = \frac{15}{r^4} = \frac{15}{(\frac{1}{15})^4} =759375

And then the general term for the sequence would be given by:

a_n = 759375 (\frac{1}{15})^n-1 , n=1,2,3,4,...

And the best option would be:

C) a1=759,375; an=an−1⋅(1/15)

How do I find the value of x?? please help
Snowcat [4.5K]

Add the two angles and then subtract from 180* to find the missing angle

So,

145* + 15* = 160*

180* - 160* = 20*

Answer: x = 20*
