The original is 5 cm, the reduced image is 2.5
2.5/5 = 0.5 = 1/2
The scale for the reduced image is 1/2
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation
2.167x10^4 = 21,670
= 9,978
1.1x10^6
1100,000
= 56,344,000
2.468×10^5 = 246,800
1.
20 pounds of strawberries
5 persons
20 ÷ 5 = 20 pounds ÷ 5 persons = 4 pounds per person
Answer: 4 is the pounds per person, how much each person received
2.
20 pounds of strawberries
5 pounds per person
20 ÷ 5 = 20 pounds ÷ 5 pounds/person= 4 persons
Answer: 4 is the number of people we're splitting among
The common difference is d = 4 because we add 4 to each term to get the next one.
The starting term is a1 = 3
The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 3 + 4(n-1)
an = 3 + 4n-4
an = 4n - 1
Plug in n = 25 to find the 25th term
an = 4n - 1
a25 = 4*25 - 1
a25 = 100 - 1
a25 = 99
So we're summing the series : 3+7+11+15+...+99
We could write out all the terms and add them all up. That's a lot more work than needed though. Luckily we have a handy formula to make things a lot better
The sum of the first n terms is Sn. The formula for Sn is
Sn = n*(a1+an)/2
Plug in n = 25 to get
Sn = n*(a1+an)/2
S25 = 25*(a1+a25)/2
Then plug in a1 = 3 and a25 = 99. Then compute to simplify
S25 = 25*(a1+a25)/2
S25 = 25*(3+99)/2
S25 = 25*(102)/2
S25 = 2550/2
S25 = 1275
The final answer is 1275
