£54,000 split ratio 1:3:8

1 answer:

4 0

There are 12 parts to the ratio (1 + 3 + 8 = 12).
Divide 54,000 by 12.
54,000/12 = 4,500
Now multiply for each part:
1 = 4,500
3 = 13,500
8 = 36,000

You can check by adding them up (4,500 + 13,500 + 36,000 = 54,000).

So the ratio is 4,500:13,000:36,000

Hope this helps =)

Find the 4th term in the following sequence (n = 4)

lisabon 2012 [21]

this formula, doesn't rely on a product, relies on a "sum", or is namely an arithmetic sequence, aₙ₋₁ -3 is another way of saying, the value of the previous term minus 3, so it relies on the ordinal value of a term, so is an recursive formula, well, let's get it when n = 4.

$\begin{array}{ccll} order&term&value\\ \cline{1-3} 1&a_1&8\\ 2&a_2&a_{2-1}-3\\ &&a_1-3\\ &&8-3\\ &&5\\ 3&a_3&a_{3-1}-3\\ &&a_2-3\\ &&2\\ 4&a_4&a_{4-1}-3\\ &&a_3-3\\ &&2-3\\ &&-1 \end{array}$
