Answer:

For 130 non-fiction books, the number of fiction books can be from 270 to 278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, there are 5 non-fiction books for every 9 fiction books.

Observe that, if the number of fiction books is less than 9, than there will be no no-fiction books.

So, there are 5 non-fiction books for every 9 to (9+8) fiction books

So, by elementary method, there will be 5n non-fiction books for every 9n+8 fiction books, where n is a natural number.

Or, if the number of non-fiction books is 5n, then the number of fiction books will be ranging from 9n to (9n+8).

For, 150 non-fiction books, 5n=150 or n=150/5=30.

Hence, the number of fiction books can be from 9n to (9n+8).

=9x30 to (9x30+8)

=270 to 278.

Hence, for 130 non-fiction books, the number of fiction books can be from 270 to 278.

There are 125 people in a sport centre. 59 people use the gym. 70 people use the swimming pool. 55 people use the track. 25 peop
klemol [59]

Answer:97/125

Step-by-step explanation:

“As illustrated in the Venn diagram,

We let

U=[The total number of people at the sport center]

This implies that,

n(U)=125

G=[Those who use the gym]

This implies that,

n(G)=59

P=[Those who use the pool]

This implies that,

n(P)=70

T=[Those who use the track]

This implies that,

n(T)=55

a=[Those who use the gym only]

This implies that,

n(a)=59-(6+11+19)=59-36=23

b=[Those who use the pool only]

This implies that,

n(b)=70-(6+19+24)=70-49=21

c=[Those who use the track only]

This implies that,

n(c)=55-(6+24+11)=55-31=14

Also, number of people who use gym and track=11+23+19+6+14+24=97”

If the sum of three consecutive multiples of 7 is 945. Find the smallest among them​
Firlakuza [10]

consider first number is = x

formula,

(n / 2)(first number + last number) = sum,

7/2(x+x+6)= 945

2x+6= 945×2/7

2x+6 = 270

2x= 270-6

x=264/2= 132

Answer the smallest number is 132.

Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term is 1/6 and the common ratio is 1/4?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fifth term of a geometric sequence = \frac{1}{16}

Common ratio (r) = ¼

Required:

Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence

Solution:

Step 1: find the first term of the sequence

Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = ar^{n - 1}, where:

a = first term

r = common ratio = ¼

Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.

Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{5 - 1}

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{4}

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{256}

\frac{1}{16} = \frac{a}{256}

Cross multiply

1*256 = a*16

Divide both sides by 16

\frac{256}{16} = \frac{16a}{16}

16 = a

a = 16

Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence

nth term = ar^{n - 1}

nth term = 16*\frac{1}{4}^{n - 1}

a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}
