Let J represent Jim
A represent Alvin
B represent Becca
Jim is 3 inches taller than Alvin, and then we translate this into an equation which is:
J=3+A
Alvin is twice as tall as Becca, and also translate thus into an equation:
A=2B or B=1/2A
Next,
The sum of their heights is 153 inches which is:
J+A+B=153
B=1/2A
J=3+A
Substitute the three of them to get this new equation:
3+A+A+1/2A=153
3+2.5A=153
Subtract 3 to each side
3+2.5A-3=153-3
2.5A=150
Divided 2.5 to each side
2.5A/2.5=150/2.5
A=60 inches
J=3+A
J=3+60
J=63 inches, so Jim is 63 inches tall. As a result, D is your final answer. Hope it help!

(5CQ) Use the comparison test to determine whether the series 25/3+125/9+625/27+... is convergent or divergent.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The terms in the sum are given by the sequence

\left\{\dfrac{5^{n+1}}{3^n}\right\}_{n\ge1}

We have

\dfrac{5^{n+1}}{3^n}>\dfrac{5^n}{3^n}=\left(\dfrac53\right)^n>1

for all n, and the series 1+1+1+\cdots clearly diverges, so \dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{125}9+\cdots must also diverge.

A summer pool membership costs $275 for 3 months. You can also buy an individual pass for $12.50. If you plan to go to the pool
Leona [35]
12.50 x 8 = 100
100 x 3 = $300
so $275 for 3 months would be the better deal but i’m not sure if by each month u meant 3 months or the whole year. if the whole year was the case it would be
12.50 x 8 = 100
100 x 12 = $1,200
275 x 4 = $1,100
so in that case $275 for 3 months would still be the better deal.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

convert km into m

1 km=1000m

360 km=1000*360m

=360000m

again,convert 3 hours into seconds

3 hours=60*60*3

=10800 second

average spped=total distance /time taken

=360000/10800

=33.33 m/s
