Answer:

10 boxes in the top row.

192 boxes in entire display.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of rows.

Given:

Total number of rows = 8

Boxes in bottom row = 38

And each row has four fewer boxes than the row below it.

Solution:

Part A:

We know that the bottom row has 38 boxes and each row has four fewer boxes than the row below it.

Using below function for determining the number of boxes in each rows.

f(n)=38-(8-n)4

Where:

n = Number of row.

We need to find the boxes in the first row.

So, substitute n = 1 in above function.

f(1)=38-(8-1)4

f(1)=38-7\times 4

f(1)=38-28

f(1)=10

Therefore, 10 boxes in the top row.

Part B:

Total boxes in the entire display.

Using formula as given below to determine the sum of the boxes in entire display.

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2}(f(1)+f(n))

Substitute n = 8, f(1) = 10 and f(8) = 38 in the above equation.

S_{8} = \frac{8}{2}(10+38)

S_{8} = 4(48)

S_{8} = 4\times 48

S_{8} = 192\ boxes

Therefore, 192 boxes in the entire display.

A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet) and dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute. If the diver dove for ½ hour, what rat
Leona [35]

Given:

A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet).

Rate of diving = 5.6 feet per minute.

Time = \dfrac{1}{2} hour

To find:

The rational number that represents his position relative to sea level.

Solution:

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

\dfrac{1}{2} hour = 30 minutes

A deep sea diver, dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute.

Distance covered in 1 minute = 5.6 feet

Distance covered in 30 minute = 30 × 5.6 feet

                                                    = 168 feet

The diver dove 168 feet in \dfrac{1}{2} hour. Since it is below the sea level, therefore it should be negative.

So, the rational number that represents his position relative to sea level is -168 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
