The length of the fifth piece is 2 3/4 inches.

Given:
1st piece of wood = 1 1/2 inches
2nd piece of wood = 1 13/16 inches
3rd piece of wood = 2 1/8 inches

f(n) = 1st term + common difference(n-1)

To get the common difference, we need to deduct the fraction from its preceding fraction.

1st piece: 1 1/2 = (2*1 + 1)/2 = 3/2
2nd piece: 1 13/16 = (16*1+13)/16 = 29/16
3rd piece: 2 1/8 = (8*2+1)/8 = 17/8

29/16 - 3/2 = 29/16 - (3/2 * 8/8) = 29/16 - 24/16 = (29-24)/16 = 5/16
17/8 - 29/16 = (17/8 *2/2) - 29/16 = 34/16 - 29/16 = (34-29)/16 = 5/16

Find: 5th piece's measurement
1st term : 1 1/2 or 3/2
common difference : 5/16

f(5) = 3/2 + 5/16 (5-1)
      = 3/2 + 5/16 (4)
      = 3/2 + (5*4)/16
      = 3/2 + 20/16
      = (3/2 * 8/8) + 20/16
      = 24/16 + 20/16
      = (24 + 20)/16
f(5) = 44/16
f(5) = 2 12/16 simplified to 2 3/4 inches.

Which expression is equal to 1/8000 written in scientific notation?
Shkiper50 [21]
Since 1/8000 is 0.000125, we can move the decimal 4 terms to the right.

So that will be 1.25 • 10^-4

The data below represent the ages of people working at a store.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The first step is sort the values on increasing order and we got:

18, 18, 19, 19, 19, 20, 22, 23. 25,  26, 31

And in order to find the first quartile we can separate the first 5 lowest values from the largest 5 values. And for this case we focus on these values:

18, 18, 19, 19, 19

And if we find the median of the last 5 values we can find the first quartile and we got:

Q_1 = 19

The best answer would be:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following dataset:

18, 26, 19, 25, 19, 23, 31, 22, 19, 18, 20

The first step is sort the values on increasing order and we got:

18, 18, 19, 19, 19, 20, 22, 23. 25,  26, 31

And in order to find the first quartile we can separate the first 5 lowest values from the largest 5 values. And for this case we focus on these values:

18, 18, 19, 19, 19

And if we find the median of the last 5 values we can find the first quartile and we got:

Q_1 = 19

The best answer would be:

19

If a baseball game lasted 3 1/4 hours and ended at 10 P.M. , at what time did they start
Orlov [11]
Subtracting 3.25 hours from 10 PM is subtracting 3 hours and 15 minutes from 10 PM. Doing this, we get that the game started at 6:45 P.M. Hope this helped!

So im really confused by this and could use some help.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Nancy fits the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think they're asking which gorilla fits the equation.

2b - 15 = 605

<em>Add 15 to both sides</em>

2b=620

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

b=310

The only gorilla who weighs 310 pounds is Nancy.
