1/2 = 3/6
5 gallons of water changed it to 5/6, so that would mean 2/6 would be 5 gallons worth.
5 x 3 = 15.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
<u>The sequence is</u>
- 1, 1 + 2, 1 + 2 + 3, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, ...
Each term is the sum of the consecutive numbers from 1 to that number.
<u>The nth term is the sum of the first n numbers:</u>
- aₙ = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
- aₙ = 1/2n(1 + n) (formula for sum of the n terms of arithmetic progression with the first term of 1 and common difference of 1)
- aₙ = n(n + 1)/2
1) The number of circles in the nth pile is n(n + 1)/2
2) When n tends to infinity the number of circles tends to infinity
Let x=balloon swords
let x+4=balloon dogs (four more than x is x+4)
let x+7=balloon hats (three more than x+4 is x+7)
the answer is x+7
I don't know how to correctly explain the second answer (although I do know that it is 1)
The best answer here would be choice B
