Answer:

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh term is equal to 6. Therefore, we have

a_1+a_2=x\\a_3=x\\a_4=2x\\a_5=3x\\a_6=5x\\a_7=8x\\

We know that:

a_7=6\\\implies 8x=6\\x=\frac{3}{4}

We get:

a_1+a_2=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_3=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_4=2x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\a_5=3x=\frac{9}{4}\\\\a_6=5x=\frac{15}{4}\\\\a_7=8x=6\\\\a_8=13x=\frac{39}{4}\\\\a_9=21x=\frac{63}{4}\\\\a_{10}=34x=\frac{102}{4}\\

Therefore, we calculate

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}

Ron walks 0.5 mile on a track in 10 minutes. Stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes find the unit rate for each walker
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ron takes 10 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.5 miles

Stevie takes 6 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.25 miles

To find their unit rates in mile per hour and choose the faster one.

Solution:

Unit rate in miles per hour signifies their speeds. Thus, we will find out their speeds.

Ron:

Distance= 0.5 miles

Time = 10 minutes = 10\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{6} hours

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.5}{\frac{1}{6}}=0.5\times6=3\ miles/hour

Stevie

Distance = 0.25 miles

Time = 6 minutes = 6\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{10} hours

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.25}{\frac{1}{10}}=0.25\times10=2.5\ miles/hour

Thus, we have

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

The sphere area of a sphere is 200.96 square centimeters. What is the approximate volume of the sphere? Use 3.14 for pi. Round y
julsineya [31]

We are given

area of sphere is 200.96cm^2

it means that we are given surface area

so, we can use surface area formula

S=4\pi r^2

where S is surface area

r is radius

so, firstly we need to find radius or r

200.96=4\pi r^2

we can solve for r

r=3.9989cm

now, we can find volume

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

we can plug r

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi (3.9989)^3

now, we can find volume

V=267.86cm^3.............Answer
