Answer:
c. 50
Step-by-step explanation:
count each full block and every block that is more than half full as 1 each, ignore every block that is less than half full.
I got exactly 50 using this method before looking at the available answers.
In multiple choice math problems try to ignore the possible answers until you have determined what you think it ought to be. If the answer you found is in the list you have more confidence you are right, if the answer you got is not in the list you know you did something wrong... just a hint :)
First term ,a=4 , common difference =4-7=-3, n =50
sum of first 50terms= (50/2)[2×4+(50-1)(-3)]
=25×[8+49]×-3
=25×57×-3
=25× -171
= -42925
derivation of the formula for the sum of n terms
Progression, S
S=a1+a2+a3+a4+...+an
S=a1+(a1+d)+(a1+2d)+(a1+3d)+...+[a1+(n−1)d] → Equation (1)
S=an+an−1+an−2+an−3+...+a1
S=an+(an−d)+(an−2d)+(an−3d)+...+[an−(n−1)d] → Equation (2)
Add Equations (1) and (2)
2S=(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+(a1+an)+...+(a1+an)
2S=n(a1+an)
S=n/2(a1+an)
Substitute an = a1 + (n - 1)d to the above equation, we have
S=n/2{a1+[a1+(n−1)d]}
S=n/2[2a1+(n−1)d]
If the game will start at 11:00 A.M., but the players must arrive at the field three-quarters of an hour early to warm up, it refers to 8:45 a.m. Why? If we start to count in 11 backward and start to trace the three-quarters, it shows that 10:45, 9:45, and 8:45 are the three-quarters. So Hamid statement that he has to be at the field at 9:45 A.M is not correct.
