Answer:
The correct answer is 12 and a half or 13 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the values to decimals.
27 1/2 = 27.5
2 1/4 = 2.25
Then, divide miles of road that need to be repaved by the number of miles that are repaved per week.
27.5/2.25 = 12.2222222222222
Round that up to 12 and a half weeks or 13 weeks.
Note the hundredth place value (underlined and bolded):
9.3<u>7</u>5
Look at the number to the right of the hundredth place value. It is a 5. Because you round up if the number is 5 or greater, you round up in this case (you round down if it is 4 or less).
9.375 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 9.38

x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
