Answer:

<em>12.4 pieces of ribbon</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking in the question, we can see the term "cut into equal pieces." This can insure to us that we need to divide two numbers. Since we originally have 15.5 inches long string, and we want to cut it into strings that are 1.25 inches long. We divide :

15.5 / 1.25

==> 12.4

What fomula can be used to describe the sequence? -2/3,-4,-24,-144

Lunna [17]

This is a geometric sequence with n th term formula

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ $(r)^{n-1}$

where r is the common ratio and $a_{1}$ the first term

here $a_{1}$ = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and

r = $\frac{-144}{-24}$ = $\frac{-24}{-4}$ = 6

$a_{n}$ = - $\frac{2}{3}$ $(6)^{n-1}$

or in terms of x

f(x) = - $\frac{2}{3}$ $(6)^{x-1}$

timurjin [86]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

0.6x - 0.1 = 0.5x + 2 Equation

Step 2:

0.1x - 0.1 = 2 Subtract 0.5x on both sides

Step 3:

0.1x = 2.1 Add 0.1 on both sides

Step 4:

x = 2.1 ÷ 0.1 Divide

Ansewr:

x = 21
