Answer:
a₁ = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is
= 
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here 
= 1530 and r = 2, thus
= 1530 , that is
a₁ (256 - 1) = 1530
255a₁ = 1530 ( divide both sides by 255 )
a₁ = 6
Answer:
28 1/32 ft pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you need to get both the fractions to have same denominator, to do this we will times 7/8 by 4 to get 28/32. After this we can start comparing them. From the 28/32 we can make 28 pieces because 28*1/32=28/32
1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds
we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to
if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds
we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8
then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds
3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = 
after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds
answer is 6750 pounds
Answer:
985.15mg
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours
First step is to calculate the weight in kg
255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg
Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day
Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg
Dose per day= 1,970.3
Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2
Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2
Dose milligrams=985.15mg
Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg
