So your answer according to these hints I provided for you, should lead you to your answer, which should in other words be,
The 1st. The 2nd. And I would say...The 4th. The reason why I say not the 3rd one is because the 4 has nothing to do with the 8, the 3 does because it's divided by it.
If it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer. -_-
3 gallons of acid = 100% concentration acid
? (water+acid) gallons = 15 concentration acid
Note: Every gallon of water added reduces the percentage concentration of acid. Therefore, the relationship is inverse proportionality.
Solution:
Total number of gallons (water+acid) = (3*100)/15 = 20 gallons
Therefore, gallons of water = 20-3 = 17 gallons
Answer:
Option A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
First term (a) = –3
Common ratio (r) = 6
Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665
Number of term (n) =?
The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:
Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5
Cross multiply
–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
Divide both side by –3
–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1
7775 = 6ⁿ – 1
Collect like terms
7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ
7776 = 6ⁿ
Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base
6⁵ = 6ⁿ
n = 5
Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.
