Answer:

  0.333

Step-by-step explanation:

The first sequence starts at 1 and has a common difference of 2. It will include every odd number in the range.

__

The second sequence starts at 1 and has a common difference of 3. It will include odd numbers and the even numbers 4, 10, 16, .... That is, all even numbers of the form 6n -2 will be included. The last one corresponds to the largest value of n such that ...

  6n -2 ≤ 1000

  6n ≤ 1002

  n ≤ 167

That is, 167 even numbers will also be excluded.

__

The third sequence starts at 1 and has a common difference of 4. Every number in this sequence is also a number in the first sequence.

__

So the numbers in these sequences include all 500 odd numbers and 167 even numbers, for a total of 667 numbers. The probability that a randomly chosen number is not in one of these sequences is ...

  (1000 -667)/(1000) = 333/1000 = 0.333 . . . . p(not a sequence term)

You want to buy an MP3 player. Your Aunt paid you $20 to mow her lawn and you earn $5 each week
natka813 [3]

Answer:

1. y = 5x + 20

2. $20 the amount you saved mowing your aunt's lawn.

3. 21 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 is the slope because it is the rate. 20 is the y-intercept because that is how much you already have.

2. 20 because that is how much you already have.

3. Since you already have $20, you need to subtract 125 by 20 to get 105. Then you divide 105 by 5 to get 21 weeks.

I need help on 4, 5, and 6.
Ahat [919]

Answers and Explanations:

4. They do not have a proportional relationship. For the first 3 sets, you can multiply x by 2.5 to get y. But that does not work for 8 and 18, so there is no proportional relationship between x and y.

5. Yes. For equilateral triangles, the side length is equal to the perimeter divided by 3, the number of sides. Vise versa, the side length times 3 equals the perimeter. If the side length is 3 in, multiply by 3 to get 9 in, the diameter.

6. Yes. it is proportional. X times 80 equals Y. In this case, in 8 hours, 640 tickets were sold.
