Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula tells us that the next term f(n+1) of the sequence is -0.5 times the previous term f(n)

First term of the sequence is f(1) = 120

Second term of the sequence is f(2) = f(1+1) = -0.5 f(1) = -0.5 (120) = -60

Third term of the sequence is f(3) = f(2+1) = -0.5 f(2) = -0.5 (-60) = 30

Fourth term of the sequence is f(4) = f(3+1) = -0.5 f(3) = -0.5 (30) = -15

Fifth term of the sequence is f(5) = f(4+1) = -0.5 f(4) = -0.5 (-15) = <em>7.5</em>

Mary mixes white paint and blue paint in the ratio 2:5.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:Add 44 liters blue

Step-by-step explanation:Mary has 20 liters of paint mixed white:blue in the ratio 2:3.  So two fifths of that paint is white and three fifths is blue.  So that's 8 liters white, 12 liters blue.

We want to add paint to get white:blue = 1:7.  Clearly we need to add blue.  We have our 8 liters of white, so we need a total of 7(8)=56 liters of blue.  We already have 12, so we have to add 56-12=44 liters of blue paint:
