Answer:

The width of the building is 50 lamps and 60 lamps will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is computed by the sum of the sides of the building, since the length and width are equal on the oposite sides of the building, the perimeter is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

900 = 2*(400) + 2*width

2*width + 800 = 900

2*width = 900 - 800

2*width = 100

width = 100/2 = 50 feets

To know how many lights bulbs will be needed we need to take the perimeter of the building and divide it by the space between the lamps. We have:

number o lamps = 900/15 = 60 lamps

Answer:

The width is 50 feet.

60 lights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2*L + 2*W,

where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the width.

Using this formula, we have that:

900 = 2*400 + 2*W

2*W = 100 -> W = 50 feet

If we use one light for every 15 feet around the building, we can find the total number of lights using rule of three:

15 feet -> 1 light

900 feet -> X lights

15/900 = 1/X

X = 900/15 = 60 lights

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below? 15 , 7 , − 1 , − 9 , − 17 , . . .
Doss [256]

You can see that you're constantly subtracting 8 to get the next number. So, we have

a_1 = 15

a_2 = a_1-8

a_3 = a_2-8 = (a_1-8)-8=a_1-2\cdot 8

a_4=a_1-3\cdot 8

a_5=a_1-4\cdot 8

So, as you can see, to get the n-th term we must subtract (n-1) times 8 from the original number.

Answer:

$148.50

Step-by-step explanation

I solved this by using fractions.

x/450=33/100 is how I set up the problem. 33/100 represents 33%, while x/450 represents how much the jacket costs now.

I then went across and multiplied x by 100, and 450 by 33, which gave me 100x=14850. After this I divided each side by 100 to get 148.5, being the cost of the jacket.
