Answer:

  an = 4^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The three given terms have a common ratio of 4:

  4/1 = 16/4 = 4

So, this can be described by the function for a geometric sequence:

  an = a1×r^(n -1)

where an is the n-th term, a1 is the first term (1) and r is the common ratio (4).

  an = 1×4^(n-1)

  an = 4^(n -1) . . . . . simplified

How many 8 1/4 inch pieces of yarn can be cut from a roll that has 96 inches of yarn
Arada [10]

Answer:

Approximately 12 pieces of yarn can be cut from the 96 inches roll of yarn

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the yarn = 96 inches

Length of each piece = 8 1/4 inches

Now, solving the mixed fraction 8\frac{1}{4} , we get

length of each piece =   8\frac{1}{4}  = \frac{(8)(4) + 1}{4}= \frac{33}{4} inches

Now, the number of pieces = \frac{\textrm{Total length of the Yarn}}{\textrm{Length of ecah piece}}

= \frac{96}{\frac{33}{4} }  = 96 \times \frac{4}{33}  = 11.63

⇒ number of pieces = 11.63

Hence approximately 12 pieces of yarn can be cut from the 96 inches roll of yarn.
