If Kai wants to paint all the surfaces, including the undersides of both shelfs and the base, as well as both sides of the bookshelf’s back and sides, how many square FEET will he paint?
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule tells you the initial term of the sequence is a1 = -3, and the common difference is d=7. (7 is the value added to one term to get the next term.)
Putting these values into the formula for the explicit rule gives ...
an = a1 +d(n -1)
an = -3 + 7(n -1)
