Known facts:
- 50 dollars is the initial amount in the saving account
- 50 dollars is added every week into the savings account.
Variables:
- x: # of weeks
- y: total amount of money in savings
Set equation based on known facts and variables:
y = 50x + 50, 50x is the rate at which it grows depending on
the week and 50 is the initial amount there
Hope that helps!
Since a whole recipe asks for 4 1/2 pounds of chicken, then for a 1/2 recipe, you divide 4 1/2 by 2.
It’s easier to turn 4 1/2 to 4.50
4.50/2 = 2.25 or 2 1/4
You need 2 1/4 pounds of chicken for 1/2 of a recipe.
Let us say Karen received X amount of money. Then Natasha has received (X+210).
The ratio that the money divided was 2:5.
X/(X+210) = 2/5
5X = 2(X+210)
3X = 420
X = 140
Total money shared
= X+(X+210)
= 140+140+210
= 490
So the total money shared was $490.
Answer:
the common ratio is 0.625 or if you prefer 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Every geometric sequence has a common ratio which is a constant and is the quotient of any term divided by the term preceding it. In this case:
r=480/768=300/480=187.5/300=0.625
