Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first floor of the Willis Tower is 21 feet high. and each additional floor is 12 feet high, then the floor heights as we move from one floor to another we keep increasing by 12feets and forms an arithmetic progression as shown;

21, (21+12), (21+12+12), ...

<em>21, 33, 45...</em>

a) To write an equation for the nth floor of the tower, we will have to find the nth term of the sequence using the formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as T_n = a + (n-1)d

a is the first term = 21

d is the common difference = 33-21 = 45-33 = 12

n is the number of terms

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

T_n = 21+(n-1)*12\\T_n = 21+12n-12\\T_n = 21-12+12n\\T_n = 9+12n

<em>Hence the equation for the nth floor of the tower is expressed as </em>T_n = 9+12n<em></em>

<em></em>

b) To get the height of the 65th floor, we will substitute n = 65 into the formula arrived at in (a)

T_n = 9+12n\\T_{65} = 9 + 12(65)\\T_{65} = 9+780\\T_{65} = 789 ft

<em>Hence the height of the 65th floor is 789feets.</em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can present a problem in Latex, you can do anything. I don't know what the question mark is for. I'm just ignoring it.

55 2/3 * 66 5/6

One of the ways to get the answer is to use decimals

55.666666667 * 66.833333333 = 3720.38889

Another way to do this problem is to break up one of the numbers

55 2/3 (66 + 5/6)   You can do this if you know how to use the distributive property.

55 2/3 * 66 + 55 2/3 * 5/6

( (165 + 2) / 3) * 66 + (165 + 2)/3 * 5/6

167/3 * 66 + 167 / 3 * 5/6

167 * 22 + (167 * 5 / (3 * 6)

3674 + 835 / 18

3674 + 46 7/18

3720 7/18

If none of these seem right and you have choices, please list them.

Answer:

37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to convert this fraction into a decimal to start. After you do this you need to turn the decimal into its percentage form. Soo 0.375 = 3/8 = 37.5%
