Answer: the 7th person will get 3.125 pieces of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first student gets one-half and each student gets half of what's left each time. This means that number of pieces of gum that each student gets is reducing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = 200

r = 0.5

n = 7

The 7th term, T7 is

T7 = 200 × 0.5^(7 - 1)

T7 = 200 × 0.5^6

T7 = 3.125

Billy's plant grows at least 2 inches a month.
emmainna [20.7K]
We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.
