Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Count the number of zeros, if it's a perfect power of 10. :)
F(n) = 1st term - common difference (n - 1)
The operation is subtraction because the sequence is decreasing.
n = number of the term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence, in this case, 16
common difference = difference between one number to the next
f(n) = 16 - 1(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term.
f(5) = 16 - 1(5-1)
= 16 - 1(4)
= 16 - 4
= 12 * as you can see, 12 is the 5th term of the sequence.
If you are looking for the equivalent of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number you are looking for and solve the equation.
Answer:
12 3/4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Jack spends 1 1/2 times as long on his homework as Jill .
Jill spends 8 1/2 in doing his home work .
Time spent by jack in doing his homework is jacks time multiplied by Jill’s
That’s
1 1/2 x 8 1/2
Change to improper fractions.
We have,
3/2 x 17/2
Multiply through
51/4 = 12 3/4
Jack spends 12 3/4 hours in doing his homework
