well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that
we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.
well, that's the recursive rule.
so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.
h= number of hours
m= number of miles
Formula: 4h=12m
(4 hours equals 12 miles)
Divide 4 on each side.
h= 3m
3 miles per hour.
Then, convert miles to feet. And hours to minute.
To do this simultaneously,
Convert miles to feet and hours to minutes.
There should be 3 "fractions" to multiply.
The first should be the original problem:
3miles/1 hour. (3 miles per hour).
The second should be 1 hour/60min. (1 hour per 60 min).
The third should be 5280 ft/1 mile. (5280 feet per mile).
The second and the third fractions are to convert miles to feet and the hours to minutes.
