Answer:  The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two​ logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32  and  common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

a_n=a+(n-10)d.

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

saw5 [17]

The answer would be a. Yes, the student’s answer is reasonable.

In the problem, it states that Cindy rode her bike for an hour and ran for an hour.  Without the presence of the comma between rode her bike for an hour, and ran for an hour, this just means that Cindy only rode her bike and ran it for an hour.

The sentence can be written as Cindy rode her bike and ran for an hour.  So, this gives an answer that Cindy only exercise for an hour.

In mathematics, the statement if a, then b, says that if a is true, then be is true. If you think about it, this makes sense too. That means that the answer is C., because of the definition of the statement.
