Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the correct answer because the equation matches option A.

(-2 1/2) + (-3 1/4)

The minus sign in -2 1/2 shows that the submarine descended and then descended again with the addition sign. Though the addition sign can mean that it ascended its incorrect.

With the equation in hand, we can prove that option A is correct.

If the submarine descended 2 1/2 miles then here must be a minus sign next to the 2 1/2. But if it ascended then there would've been an addition sign to show that it ascended. The other value - 3 1/4 also shows that it ascended with the help of the addition sign.

Ascends - values increase from smallest to highest.

Descends - values decrease from highest to smallest.

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 32, 8, 2, 12, ... Enter your answer in the box.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will be no common ration for this sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Need to determine common ration for the following geometric sequence

32, 8, 2, 12, ...

In given geometric sequence

a1 = 32, a2=8, a3=2, a4=12 ……….

Common ratio = $\frac{a_2}{a_1} =\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{a_4}{a_3}$

$\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Since $\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}\neq\frac{a_4}{a_3}$ so we can say that given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will no no common ration for this sequence.

Pedro le dice a María si cambias los billetes de 10 € que tienes por billetes de 5 € y los billetes de 5 € por billetes de 10 €

Bad White [126]

Answer: Maria has 10 bills of 5€ and 10 bills of 10€.

She has a total of 150€.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the number of 5€ bills that Maria has and "t" the number of 10€ bills that Maria has.

Set up a system of equations:

$\left \{ {{f+t=20} \atop {5f+10t=10f+5t}} \right.$

Use the Substitution method to solve the system of equations:

1. Solve for "f" from the first equation:

$f=20-t$

2. Substitute the equation obtained into the second equation and solve for "t".

Then:

$5(20-t)+10t=10(20-t)+5t\\\\100-5t+10t=200-10t+5t\\\\20t-10t=100\\\\t=\frac{100}{10}\\\\t=10$

3. Substitute the value of "t" into the equation $f=20-t$ and evaluate:

$f=20-10\\\\f=10$

Therefore, Maria has 10 bills of 5€ and 10 bills of 10 €.

So the total amount of money she has, is:

$Total=10(5)+10(10)=150$

She has a total of 150€.

A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water. Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fration or mixed

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water.

To find - Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fraction or mixed number

Proof -

Let the capacity of water = x

Given that,

A mug is $\frac{1}{8}$ full of water

⇒Total cups of water in the mug = $\frac{1}{8} x$

Now,

Given that, The mug contains $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water.

∴ we get

$\frac{1}{8} x$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

⇒x = $\frac{1}{6}$ × 8

= $\frac{8}{6}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ = $1\frac{1}{3}$

⇒x = $1\frac{1}{3}$

∴ we get

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups
