Convert the total number of jars to improper fraction from mixed fraction
The subtract the total number of jars from the total number of empty jars
16/3 -11/3
5/3
Answer:
To determine the common ratio of a geometric sequence. You just need to divide any two consecutive terms on it. You can see below that all of them have the same quotient.
1.2 / 1.5 = 0.8
0.96 / 1.2 = 0.8
0.768 / 0.96 = 0.8
.
Decimal form = 0.8
Fraction form = 4/5
.
Check:
1.5 x 0.8 = 1.2
1.5 x 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 = 1.2
Therefore, the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 1.5, 1.2, 0.96, 0.768 is 0.8 or 4/5.
Answer:
a = 6/5
b = 7/8
c = 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to make two of these equations be in terms of the same variable, so let's solve the first and third in terms of b.
5a-24b=-15 -> -3 + 24b/5 = a
48b+35c = 49 -> 49/35 - 48b/35 = 7/5 - 48b/35 = c
Now we can replace the a and c in the second equation and solve for b.
10a+45c=21
10(-3+24b/5)+45(7/5 - 48b/35) = 21
-30 + 48b + 63 - 432b/7 = 21 -> -12 = -96b/7 -> b=7/8
Now we can plug b back into the other two to solve for a and c. I will leave that to you unless you would like the steps there.
Answer:
X = 10 or scale factor is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
first look at the scale factor going from 4 to 10, to get from 4 to 10 you would need to multiply 4 by 2.5. Since this problem doesnt give us the smaller scale factor first we need to divide 25 by 2.5 which equals 10.
