If one eighth of the pizza falls, that leaves seven eights of the pizza to be shared:
If the 7/8 pizza is shared between three people, then you have to divide 7/8 by 3. We know that dividing a fraction by 3 is the same as multiplying by 1/3:
Therefore, each person gets 7/24 of the whole pizza.
You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x
Answer:
x = 3/8 (but the fraction is negative.)
Decimal form if needed.
x = - 0.375
Answer:
<em>The voltage at the middle source is</em> 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Voltage Sources in Series</u>
When two or more voltage sources are connected in series, the total voltage is the sum of the individual voltages of each source.
The figure shown has three voltage sources of values:
The sum of these voltages is:
Operating:
We know the total voltage is 
, thus:
Equating the real parts and the imaginary parts independently:
4+a=6
1+b=-3
Solving each equation:
a = 2
b = -4
The voltage at the middle source is
The complete sequence is<u> 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60</u>
<h3>The nth term of an arithmetic progression</h3>
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed according to the equation;
Tn = a + (n-1)d
where
a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
Determine the common difference
d = 42-b = b - 30
-b-b = -30-42
-2b = -72
b = 36
d = 36-30
d = 6
For the first term;
d = 30 - a
6 = 30 - a
a = 24
For the value of c
c = 42 + 6
c = 48
For the value of d
d = 48 + 6
d = 54
For the value of e
e = 54 + 6
e = 60
Hence the complete sequence is<u> 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60</u>
