Well first you would start by setting up with a proportion.
In total, the girls paid $54+$22= $76
Thus 1 sister contributed $54/$76=x/100
The other sister contributed $22/$76=x/76
For each proportion, cross-multiply and simplify to get the percentage. The percentage will be the x

You and your sister bought your mom a gift.
You paid $54 and your sister paid $22.
Because 54 + 22 = $76, the gift cost a total of $76.

To figure out what percentage each sister paid, you divide what they paid by the total cost.

Thus, because you paid $54, the percentage of the gift that you bought is 54/76 ≈ 0.71 = 71%

Therefore, because your sister paid $22, the percentage of the gift that she bought is 22/76 ≈ 0.29 = 29%

You bought 71% of the gift and your sister bought 29% of the gift.

Give an example of each of the following, or argue that such a request is impossible.
Masteriza [31]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

(a) Let (bn) be a bounded sequence of (an) then, Bolzano- Weierstrass theorem,

(bn) contains a subsequence that is converges.

(b) The sequence :

Xn = 1 + (-1) n / 2 + 1/n

Clearly, (xn) does not contain 1 or 0.

If we take sequence (x2n), then it converges to 1 and when we take sequence (x2n+1),

Then it converges to 0.

(c) The sequence:

1

1,1/2

1, 1/2, 1/3

1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4

i.e

(xn) = (1,1/2, 1, 1/2, 1/3, …)

Then, the subsequence (xn) that is identically ½ in second column and 1/3 is third column and so on.

It has sub sequence that converges to every point in infinite set {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5…}.

(d) The sequence

{1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5…}

if we take sequence of given set, then, this set converges to zero. This is not contained in it.

If (xn) converges to every point in set {1, 1/2, 1/3 …} then there exists subsequence which converges to 0. And 0 does not belong to given set.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

y = 1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

What are you aiming to do here?  Please share all instructions with each problem.

If you want to solve 4.5/y = 12.5/4 for y:  Multiply both sides by 4y:

18 = 12.5y.  Then y = 1.44
