Lucia knows the fourth term in a sequence is 55 and the ninth term in the same sequence is 90. Explain how she can find the comm

Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression.
an = a + (n - 1)d
a(4) = a + 3d = 55
a(9) = a + 8d = 90
a(9) - a(4) => 5d = 35
d = 35/5 = 7.
From a(4): a = 55 - 3d = 55 - 3(7) = 55 - 21 = 34

a(2) = a + d = 34 + 7 = 41.

Make up this problem yourself 3 divided by 1/2

Helen [10]

Answer:

3 : (1/2) = $\frac{6}{1} =6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide: 3 : $\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{1} *\frac{2}{1} =\frac{3 * 2}{1*1} =\frac{6}{1} =6$

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{2}{1}$ ) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
