This question belongs to greatest common factor.

49 = 7*7

56 = 7*8

So Greatest common factor = 7

Hence Susan can arrange 7 mugs on one shelf.

For 49 blue mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs in 7 shelves.

For 56 red mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs on 8 shelves.


Hence, 7 shelves are needed for BLUE mugs and 8 shelves are needed for RED mugs.

The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is
Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2

r2=(third term)/(second term)

r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2

we can see that all four ratios are same

r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

r=2

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

a_1=2

now, we can use formula

a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}

we can plug values

and we get

a_n=2(2)^{n-1}

a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}

a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}

a_n=(2)^{n}..................Answer

What would the answer be
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

process of elimination. the red dot is not a 1/4 of the number of lines, so it cant be 12.25, 13.625 is impossible because it has a value less than 13, and 12.625 is impossible as well because it has a value less than 12.5 therefore 12.375 is the best answer, and the only correct answer

A small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company for over 10 years. So remaining 75 are between 5 and 10 years.

Suppose that one employee is selected at random from a list of the employees

A) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm less than 5 years = \frac{50}{250 } \\= 0.20

B) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm between 5 and 10 years

= \frac{75}{250 } \\= 0.30

C) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm more than 10 years

= \frac{125}{250} =0.50

a) P(A) = 0.2

P(C) = 0.5

P(A or B) = 0.2+0.3 = 0.5

P(A and C) = 0 (since A and C are disjoint)
