Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.
Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5
To find:
The common difference.
Solution:
We have,
First term: 
Sum of first 15 terms: 
The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is
![S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
Where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting
, n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%282%29%2B%2815-1%29d%5D)
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B4%2B14d%5D)
![292.5=15[2+7d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D15%5B2%2B7d%5D)
Divide both sides by 15.




Dividing both sides by 7, we get


Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.
Answer:
2/3* 4/5 = 8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached file below.
Given:
- One-fifth (1/5) of the playground is used for students to sit and read
- 2/3 is used for playing soccer
- The rest of the playground is used for playing basketball
So assume that the the playground is divided into 5 equal part
=> 1 part is used for students to sit and read or (1/5)
=> the remaining equal part is 4 or (4/5)
Because 2/3 of the remaining part is used for playing soccer
=> the equation represents the part of the playground used for soccer is:
2/3 of 4/5
= 2/3* 4/5
= 8/15
7/6X=140
X=120
That's your answer.
