Hi Timothy,
1.Which explains why the sequence 216, 12, 2/3 is arithmetic or geometric?
Answer - C.The sequence is geometric because it decreases by a factor of 1/18
The reason I chose C is the fact that the numbers go down greatly, and it has to to be geometric because when you are trying to solve the problem with arithmetic you don't get and exact rule for how to solve the problem.
Answer:
198 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 inches in each foot
multiply 16 by 12 you get 192
Half of a foot is 6 inches
add 6 inches and you get 198
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
A chef bought $17.01 worth of ribs and chicken. Ribs cost 1.89 per pound and chicken costs 0.90 per pound. The equation 0.90 +1.89r = 17.01 represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation.
Show that each of the following equations is equivalent to 0.9c + 1.89r = 17.01.
Then, explain when it might be helpful to write the equation in these forms.
a. c=18.9-2.1r. b. r= -10÷2c+9
we have that
The linear equation in standard form is

where
c is the pounds of chicken
r is the pounds of ribs
step 1
Solve the equation for c
That means ----> isolate the variable c
Subtract 1.89r both sides

Divide by 0.90 both sides

Simplify

step 2
Solve the equation for r
That means ----> isolate the variable r
Subtract 0.90c both sides

Divide by 1.89 both sides

Simplify

therefore
The equation
is equivalent
The equation is helpful, because if I want to know the number of pounds of chicken, I just need to substitute the number of pounds of ribs in the equation to get the result.
Answer:
x will have to be 45 to make this true
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17
Then
x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides
The lengths are 17in and 33in
