The smallest number in any one box would be 20 (24-4).

Therefore smallest amount of 3 boxes is simply 3*20 = 60

<span>The answer is the last one! (60 pieces)

The number of chocolates in any box is within four of 24, so that means that</span><span> the number of chocolates could be 20 to 28. </span>
<span>So that means that it's possible that all of the three 3 boxes have the least amount of chocolates, which is 20. 

</span><span>3 * 20 = 60.</span>

when the sum of an unknown number z and twenty two is divided by the same unknown number,the quotient is twelve what is the unkn
Anarel [89]

The unknown number . . . . .  (z)

The sum of the unknown number and 22 . . . . .  (z + 22)

The sum of the unknown number and 22
divided by the same unknown number . . . . . . .  (z + 22) / z

You said that quotient is 12.              (z + 22) / z  =  12

Multiply each side by 'z' :                  (z + 22)       =  12 z

Subtract 'z' from each side:                      22        =  11 z

Divide each side by  11 :                           2         =      z .

Can someone explain what geometric sequences are?
Fed [463]

Explanation:

A sequence is a list of numbers.

A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.

<u>Examples</u>

  • 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
  • 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
  • 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

___

<u>General Term</u>

Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...

  a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence

where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...

  • a(n) = 2^(n -1)
  • a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
  • a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)

You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

__

<u>Sum of Terms</u>

Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.

  S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence

When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...

  S = a(1)/(1-r)

Is the equation y=4x+1 proportional? *<br> Yes<br> No
Mumz [18]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 1 is not a direct variation. Direct variations have the form y = kx. So y = 4x would be a direct variation (k=4), but not y = 4x+1

Answer:

<em>See the Venn diagram attached</em>

<u>Numbers given:</u>

  • <em>Total</em>: 100
  • Either a cat of a fish: 70
  • Cat: 46
  • Cat and fish: 16

<u>Neither a cat or a fish:</u> 100 - 70 = 30

<u>Fish:</u> 70 - (46 + 16) = 70 - 62 = 8

<u>Required probabilities are:</u>

  • a) P(neither) = 30/100 = 0.3
  • b) P(f) = (16 + 8)/100 = 0.24
  • c) P(f not c) = 8/100 = 0.08
