1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

The wind blew away 24 of your muffins. That was 3/4 of them! How many are left?
forsale [732]
Set up a proportion:

3/4/24 = 1/x

Cross multiply:

3/4x = 24

Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:

x = 24 * 4/3

x = 96/3

x = 32

So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:

32 - 24 = 8

So you have 8 muffins left.

Find the pattern and use it to list the next two terms in the sequence.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = -3 = (-1)¹×3

a₂ = 6 = (-1)²×2×3

a₃ = -28 = (-1)³×2²×7

a₄ = 72 = (-1)⁴×2³×3²

a₅ = -360 = (-1)⁵×2³×3²×5

a₆ = 2160 = (-1)⁶×2⁴×3³×5

That's as far as I got. I can predict that a₇ is a multiple of -32 and a₈ is a multiple of 64, but I don't see the pattern with the other factors.
