Answer:  The next term in the given pattern is \dfrac{1}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the next number in the following pattern :

64,   16,   4,    1,   .    .    .

We see that,

if a(n) denotes the nth number i the given pattern, then

a(1) = 64,  a(2) = 16,  a(3) = 4,  a(4) = 1,   .  .   .

That is,

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=~~.~~.~~.~~=\dfrac{1}{4}.

Therefore, we get

\dfrac{a(5)}{a(4)}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a(5)}{1}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow a(5)=\dfrac{1}{4}.

Thus, the next term in the given pattern is \dfrac{1}{4}.

If a lawn measures 40 and 4/5 ft by 50 and 7/8ft how many square feet of seed will he need?
pychu [463]
So convert to improper fracitons (improper=x/y where x>y and the current one is mixed where it is in t s/f form) so

40 and 4/5=(40 times 5)/5 and 4/5=200/5 and 4/5=204/5

50 and 7/8=(50 times 8)/8 and 7/8=400/8 and 7/8=407/8

area=legnth times width
legnth =407/8
width=204/5
multiply 407/8 and 204/5

407/8 times 204/5=(407 times 204)/(8 times 5)=83028/40=2075.7 square feet

the answer is 2075.7 ft^2 of seed

The dimensions of a conical funnel are shown below: A conical funnel is shown with the height of the cone as 7 inches and the ra
Nataly [62]
The first thing we should know in this case is that by definition the flow of liquid is given by:
 Q = V / t
 Where,
 V: volume
 t: time
 The volume of the cone is given by:
 V = (pi * r ^ 2 * h) / (3)
 Where,
 r: radio
 h: height
 Substituting the values we have:
 V = (3.14 * ((3) ^ 2) * 7) / (3)
 V = 65.94 in ^ 3
 We now turn off the time of the flow equation:
 t = V / Q
 Substituting values:
 t = (65.94) / (14)
 t = 4.71 minutes
 Answer:
 It will take for all the liquid in the funnel to pass through the nozzle about:
 t = 4.71 minutes

Im doing this problem where I have to deal with fractions that have variables in them. here is the problem. I linked the picture
AVprozaik [17]
First you should combine n/6-5n/12
that goes to 2n/12-5n/12 which equals -3n/12

then you should cross multiply -3n/12 by 1/16
12(1)=-3n(16)
12=-48n then solve for n by dividing by -48
-12/48=n simplify -1/4=n or -.25=n

Can someone help me with this substitution method for algebra Y=4*-3x 5x-y=22
alexira [117]
y=4-3x\\
5x-y=22\\\\
5x-(4-3x)=22\\
5x-4+3x=22\\
8x=26\\
x=\dfrac{26}{8}=\dfrac{13}{4}\\\\
y=4-3\cdot\dfrac{13}{4}\\
y=4-\dfrac{39}{4}\\
y=\dfrac{16}{4}-\dfrac{39}{4}\\
y=-\dfrac{23}{4}\\\\
\boxed{(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{13}{4},-\dfrac{23}{4}\right)}
