This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:

The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:

This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
Answer:
130 calories in the ice cream and 500 calories in the pie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of calories in the scoop of ice cream be x. the amount of calories in the piece of pie be 3x-20. we know that x+3x-20=500.
4x-20=500
If we add twenty to both sides, we end up with:
4x=520
Divide both sides by four, and you get x=130.
there are 130 calories in the scoop of ice cream and 130*4-20=500 calories in the pie.
They are equal. They're equal because if you simplify 500/600, it becomes 5/6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
area of base = 240 in²
volume = (area of base)× height
2880 in³ = 240 in² × height
height = 2880/240 = 12 in
Multiply the 12 by three and get 36. Then divide that by four and get 9
