Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider 5 and - 9 to be terms in an arithmetic sequence and we require to find the 6 terms between them.
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a + (n - 1)d ← d is required
Here a = 5 and = - 9, hence
5 + 7d = - 9 ( subtract 5 from both terms )
7d = - 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )
d = - 2
---------------------------------------------------------
The terms in the sequence are
5, 5 - 2, 5 - 4, 5 - 6, 5 - 8, 5 - 10, 5 - 12, - 9 , that is
5, 3, 1, - 1, - 3, - 5, - 7, -9
With the 6 arithmetic means being
3, 1, - 1, - 3, - 5, - 7
Answer:
$ 2.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sales tax rate
The cost of the book is $ 12.99.
So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 12.99
=1.10
So, the sales tax on the book is $ 1.10.
The cost of the video game is $ 39.99.
So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 39.99
=3.30
So, the sales tax on the book is $ 3.40.
The difference of taxes on both the items = $ 3.40-$ 1.10=$ 2.30
So, the tax on the video game is $ 2.30 more than then tax on the book.
Answer:
1 3/4 = 7/4 = 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The process to arrive to the solution is explained in the pictures below.
Tyler needed to convert the mixed fraction
2 1/2 = (4+1)/2 = 5/2
If we multiply by 2 numerator and denominator
5*2/2*2 = 10/4
We substract
10/4 - 3/4 = 7/4 = 1.75
