For a Geometric sequence:
a n = a ( n-1 ) * r
In this case: a 1 = 30
a 2 = 30 * 1/2 = 15
a 3 = 15 * 1/2 = 7.5
a 4 = 7.5 * 1/2 = 3.75 = 3 3/4
Answer: The value of the fourth term is 3.75 or 3 3/4.

Your teacher is choosing 2 students to run an errand for her. There are 12 girls and 10 boys in the class. What is the probabili
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 22 (12 + 10) total students in the class. That means that the chance of the first student picked being a girl is 12/22.

Now, we must calculate the chance of the next student to be picked <em>also </em>being a girl - however, there is a trap here! Remember that since a girl has been picked, the total student pool has decreased to 21 and and the total number of girls has decreased to 11. This means the new chance of girl being picked is 11/21.

To find the probability of both these events happening in conjunction, these fractions must be multiplied. 12/22 * 11/21 = 132/462, which simplifies to 2/7.

Evaluate u + xy, if u = 18, x = 10, and y = 8. <br><br> A. 188<br> B. 36 <br> C. 98<br> D. 224
Luda [366]
If you would like to evaluate u + xy, you can do this using the following steps:

u = 18, x = 10, y = 8
u + xy = 18 + 10 * 8 = 18 + 80 = 98

The correct result would be C. 98.

A water molecule is made up of 3 atoms. One third of the atoms are oxygen and the remaining atoms are hydrogen. If there are 114
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

228 hydrogen atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

In a water molecule,

1/3rd is oxygen atoms, and

2/3rd (1 - 1/3 = 2/3) is hydrogen atoms

If there are 114 water molecules,

Total number of atoms would be:

3 * 114 = 342 (1 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atoms in 1 water molecule)

Out of these, 2/3rd would be hydrogen atoms, so:

\frac{2}{3}*342=228

There would be 228 hydrogen atoms
