Answer: B)-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In Arithmetic sequence , the common difference is the difference between any two successive terms. It is equal throughout the sequence.

Given arithmetic sequence : 51, 47, 43, 39, ...

Here , First term = 51

Second term = 47

Then the common difference = Second term - First term

i.e. Common difference = 47-51 =-(51-47)=-4

Hence, the common difference between consecutive terms in the following arithmetic sequence= -4

Thus , the correct answer is option B)-4 .

Here we have a case of the least common multipl(lcm) of 6 and 20.
Prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19... (natural numbers greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself) .
lcm(6,20)= 6 20 | 2
                  3 10 | 3
                  1 10 | 2
                       5 | 5
                       1
2*3*2*5=60 The first one to get both calendar and the animal toy will be 60th.

Explenation: First we look for the smallest prime number with wich 6 and 20 can be devided by. That is 2. Next is 3. Since 10 is not divisible by 3, we only copy it. Under the 6 we got 1, wich is our goal. Now we continue to devide 10 by prime numbers till we also get 1. We now multiple all divisors and we get the least common multiple.

Answer:

n = -1.825

Step-by-step explanation:

8n + 16.2 = 1.6 (Given)

8n = -14.6 (Subtract 16.2 on both sides)

n = -1.825 (Divide 8 on both sides)
