i think it would be 4/15 because science is 6/15 and fiction is 5/15

i don't need it but brainliest is appreciated

The way I would do this problem would be to find a common denominator for both of the fractions.

5/15

6/15

And then we can find out how many books there are left.

5/15 + 6/15 is 11/15

11/15 books are about science and biography, the other 4/15 are fiction.

Traveling m miles on this taxi costs

c=2.5+3.25m

In fact, we spend 2.50 no matter what, and then we add 3.25 (i.e. the cost of a mile) multiplied by the number of miles.

This quantity has to be less than or equal to 61, so we have

2.5+3.25m\leq 61

Solving for m, we start by subtracting 2.5 from both sides:

3.25m\leq 58.5

Then, we divide both sides by 3.25:

m\leq 18

The Varners live on a corner lot. Often children cut across their lot to scar walking distance. The diagram to the right represe

About 12.56 units. 
Solve for x by plugging in values into Pythagorean theorem.
a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}
x^{2} +(x+12)^{2} = 34^{2}
Simplify
2x^{2} + 24x+144 = 1156
Subtract 144 from both sides
2x^{2} + 24x = 1012
divide both sides by 2
x^{2} + 12x = 506
complete the square
x^{2} + 12x + 36 = 506 +36 . = (x+6)^2 = 542
take the square root of both sides.
x+6 = 23.28
subtract by 6 to get  about 17.28 for x.
Plug in values for x to get distance traveled on outside of the yard.
17.28 + (17.28 +12) = 46.56
subtract 34 from the length to get the difference in travel. 46.56-34=12.56

Which of the following are examples of a geometric sequence? Select any and all that apply: may be more than one correct answer.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

( 1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , ... )

( 9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ... )

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a common ratio in consecutive terms,

In sequence,

1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{24},\frac{1}{120}.....

\frac{1/2}{1}\neq \frac{1/6}{1/2}\neq \frac{1/24}{1/6}\neq \frac{1/120}{1/24}...

i.e.

1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{6},\frac{1}{24},\frac{1}{120}..... is not a Geometric sequence,

1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5 , ...

\frac{-2}{1}\neq \frac{3}{-2}\neq \frac{-4}{3}\neq \frac{5}{-4}...

i.e. 1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5 , ... is not a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , ...

\frac{-2}{1}=\frac{4}{-2}= \frac{-8}{4}= \frac{16}{-8}...

i.e. 1 , -2 , 4 , -8 , 16 , .... is a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

0 , 1 , 0 , -1 , 0 , .....

\frac{1}{0}\neq \frac{0}{1}\neq \frac{-1}{0}\neq \frac{0}{-1}...

i.e. 0 , 1 , 0 , -1 , 0 , .....is not a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ...

\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}= \frac{1/3}{1}= \frac{1/9}{1/3}...

i.e.  9 , 3 , 1 , 1/3 , 1/9 , ... is a Geometric sequence,

In sequence,

1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , ...

\frac{3}{1}\neq \frac{5}{3}\neq \frac{7}{5}\neq \frac{9}{7}...

i.e. 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , ... is not a Geometric sequence
