You have the correct answer. It is choice B) -1/4
=======================================================
Explanation:
This is because we're adding -1/4 to each term to get the next one. In other words, we're subtracting 1/4 from each term to get the next one.
- term2 = term1+(d) = 1/2 + (-1/4) = 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
- term3 = term2+(d) = 1/4 + (-1/4) = 1/4 - 1/4 = 0
- term4 = term3+(d) = 0 + (-1/4) = 0 - 1/4 = -1/4
- term5 = term4+(d) = -1/4 + (-1/4) = -2/4 = -1/2
and so on.
----------
To find the common difference, all we have to do is subtract any term from its previous one.
For example:
d = (term2) - (term1)
d = (1/4) - (1/2)
d = (1/4) - (2/4)
d = (1-2)/4
d = -1/4
The order of subtraction matters, so we cannot say d = term1-term2.
Answer:
It is 13.56
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to divide 40.68 by 3. 3 goes 1 time into 4 so it is 10.
Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.
m=s+88 we are also told that:
m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:
s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side
2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides
2s=338 divide both sides by 2
s=169, since m=s+88
m=169+88=257
So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.
58.3 I think....hope it helps
