Answer:

6:15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 6 : 15 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCC of 6 and 15 is 3

Divide both terms by 3: 6 ÷ 3 = 2 & 15 ÷ 3 = 5

Reducing to simplest form:

6 : 15 = 2 : 5

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is...

Leokris [45]

<h3>Answer: The same or equal</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Consider an example like 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...

The ratio between consecutive terms is

6/3 = 2
12/6 = 2
24/12 = 2
48/2 = 2

Each time we divide any given term over its previous one, we get the same ratio 2. We call this the common ratio. In terms of notation, the variable r is used for the common ratio, so r = 2 in this case.

As another example, the geometric sequence 5, 50, 500, 5000, ... has r = 10 as the common ratio because we multiply each term by 10 to get the next one. Moving forward has us multiply by r, moving backward and we divide by r. The value of r cannot be zero, but it can be negative.

An example with r being negative would be something like

1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, ....

we just bounce back and forth between those two values. In this case, r = -1.

A box of candy hearts contains 52 hearts, of which 19 are white, 10 are tan, 7 are pink, 3 are purple, 5 are yellow, 2 are orang

laiz [17]

<u>Answer-</u>

a. Probability that three of the candies are white = 0.29

b. Probability that three are white, 2 are tan, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, and 2 are green = 0.006

<u>Solution-</u>

There are 19 white candies, out off which we have to choose 3.

The number of ways we can do the same process =

$\binom{19}{3} = \frac{19!}{3!16!} = 969$

As we have to draw total of 9 candies, after 3 white candies we left with 9-3 = 6, candies. And those 6 candies have to be selected from 52-19 = 33 candies, (as we are drawing candies other than white, so it is subtracted)

And this process can be done in,

$\binom{33}{6} = \frac{33!}{6!27!} =1107568$
