a_1=1,\ a_2=2.5,\ a_3=4,\ a_4=5.5,\ ...\\\\a_2-a_1=2.5-1=1.5\\a_3-a_2=4-2.5=1.5\\a_4-a_3=5.5-4=1.5\\a_{n+1}-a_n=1.5=constans\\\\\text{It's an arithmetic sequence with}\\a_1=1,\ \boxed{d=1.5}\\\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\to a_n=1+(n-1)(1.5)=1+1.5n-1.5\\\\a_n=1.5n-0.5\\\\a_5=1.5(5)-0.5=7.5-0.5=7\\\boxed{a_5=7}\\\\\text{The formula of a Sum of the First n Terms of an Arithmetric Sequence:}\\\\S_n=\dfrac{2a_1+(n-1)d}{2}\cdot n\\\\\text{We have:}\\a_1=1,\ d=1.5,\ n=100\\\\\text{Substitute}

S_{100}=\dfrac{(2)(1)+(100-1)(1.5)}{2}\cdot100=\dfrac{2+(99)(1.5)}{1}\cdot50\\\\=(2+148.5)\cdot50=150.5\cdot50=7,525\\\\\boxed{S_{100}=7,525}\\\\Answer:\\the\ common\ difference:\ d=1.5\\the\ fifth\ term:\ a_5=7\\the\ sum\ of\ first\ 100\ terms:\ S_{100}=7,525

1/6 + 3/8 <br> A. 4/6<br> B. 4/8 <br> C. 4/14<br> D. 13/24
Naddika [18.5K]

Here is you're answer:

In order to get you're answer you need to find the common denominator then add.

  • \frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{8}
  • Find the common denominator:
  • CD = 48
  • = \frac{26}{48}
  • Simplify:
  • \frac{26}{48} \div 2 = \frac{13}{24}
  • = \frac{13}{24}

Therefore you're answer is option D "13/24."

Hope this helps!
