Choose any positive integer. Powers of two here are not very interesting, so choose something else. If the number you have chose

n is even, divide it by two. If it's odd, multiply it by three and add one. Now, with the result, repeat the same process. If the number is even divide it by two. If it's odd multiply it by three and add one. Keep repeating this process on the outcome. You will generate (*recursively*) a sequence of positive integers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)

For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3.  Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16.  Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.

The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.

Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.

Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.

Misha Larkins [42]

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

7 or 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Robbie was given $80.

His admission costs $15.50

80 - 15.50 = $64.50

He anticipates the cost of food at the fair will be $25.

64.50 - 25 = $39.50

What is the maximum number of rides he can take at the Fair?

(Total $ after admission and cost of food/ ride cost)

$39.50 / $5 = 7.9

Jayson baked a pan of cornbread for a family dinner. He cut the cornbread into equal size pieces. At the end of the dinner, ther
VARVARA [1.3K]
If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12. My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
