Okay. So we have to do division, because you're dividing 4 1/4 (17/4) tablespoons of medicine by 5 doses. The formula for multiplying fractions is keep, change, flip. 17/4 * 1/5 is 17/20. 17/20 tablespoon of medicine is supposed to be taken in each dose.

Cyril has six more than twice as many mangoes as Kubie and half as many mangoes as Maxine. If Kubie has six mangoes, then, in te

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(7x + 18) or 60 Mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of mangoes Kubie possesses be x

So,

Cyril has mangoes = 2x + 6 ...(i)

So,

Maxine has = 2 * (2x + 6)

= 4x + 12

Given that,

Kubie has mangoes = 6

∵ The combined mangoes they have in terms of x,

= Cyril + Kubie + Maxine

= (2x + 6) + x + (4x + 12)

= 7x + 18

A.T.Q.

Cyril has = 2x + 6

∵ Cyril has mangoes = 2 * (6) + 6

= 18 mangoes

∵ Maxine has = 2 * Cyril's mangoes

= 2 * 18

= 36

Thus,

Total mangoes = Cyril + Kubie + Maxine

= 18 + 6 + 36

= 60 Mangoes

Write a recursive formula for each sequence given or described below.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$a_{n} =a_{n-1} +3000$ and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ......

Step-by-step explanation:

Doug has joined a job with a starting salary of $30000 per year.

Hence, if a₁ is the salary of Doug in the first year, then

a₁ =30000

Now, each year Doug will receive a raise of $3000 in his salary.

Hence, in the 2nd year, his salary(a₂) will become ( a₁ +3000) per year.

Again, in the 3rd year, his salary(a₃) will become ( a₂ +3000) per year.

Therefor, in the similar manner the recursive formula for his salary in each year will be given as $a_{n} =a_{n-1} +3000$ and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ...... {aₙ is the yearly salary of Doug in the nth year} (Answer)
