Answer:

Next term of the sequence is:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a sequence :

12,6,3,...

We have to find the next term of this sequence

As we can see the successive term is half the preceding term

i.e. in general if A(n) denotes the nth term of the sequence then,

A(n+1)=A(n)/2

We are given the third term=A(3)=3

Fourth term=A(3+1)

=A(3)/2

=3/2

= 1.5

Hence, next term of the sequence is:

1.5

Answer:

The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The high school graduating class of 2010 was 260 people

Five years later the high school graduating class was 320 people.

we know that

260 people represent the 100%

The difference is (320-260)=60 people

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent 60 people

Let

x ----> the percentage that represent 60 people

$\frac{260}{100\%}=\frac{60}{x}\\\\x= 100\%(60)/260\\\\x=23.1\%$

therefore

The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%

What is, 7 3/10+6 1/3+2 7/10?

snow_lady [41]

7 3/10 + 6 1/3 + 2 7/10

First change them to improper fractions

73/10 + 19/3 + 27/10

now find the common denominator which would be 30

73/10 = 219 /30

19/3 = 190/30

27/10 = 81 /30

now add (219 + 190 + 81) = 490/30

now divide 490 ÷ 30 = 16 1/3

Your answer is 16 1/3

Hope this helps. :)
