3 is always on the numerator. It is not effected by a power. The answer has to be something that leaves the numerator alone. That means that B is not correct.

The answer is going to be something that makes the denominator 1 when n = 1. That's going to be the answer to the question, because the first term in the sequence is just 3. The denominator must be 1. (not zero).

D is not the answer, because 3/5^1 = 3/5, so D is wrong.

A is not going to get us anywhere either. 3/5^(1 + 1) = 3/5^2 = 3/25 which is not the first term.

The only choice we have left is C. It must be the answer. 3/5^(1 - 1) = 3/5^0 = 3/1 = 3. There's your answer. Note anything raised to the zero power = 1.

Jean can pack 5 cartons in 15 minutes. Which expression can be used to show the number of cartons Jean can pack in x hours? Grou

Answer: 20x

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour

Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:

= 5 ÷ 1/4

= 5 × 4

= 20 cartons.

Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:
