Answer: 6th week

Step-by-step explanation:the number of weeks is moving in a geometric proportion

Remember Tn = ar^n-1

Tn = 50, r = 800/1600= 1/2, a = 1600

So 50 = 1600 * 1/2^ n-1

50/1600 = 1/2^ n-1

1/32 = 1/2^ n-1

2^ -5 = 2^ -n+1

Equating powers

-5 = -n + 1

-n = -6

n = 6

Tony has 7/8 of a candy bar. he wants to split the bar into servings that are 3/10 of the bar. how many servings can he make?
erica [24]
Alright, so let's make both 7/8 and 3/10 into fractions with the same denominator.
The lowest common denominator for both of these is 80.
So, we multiply the top and bottom of 7/8 by 10, and the top and bottom of 3/10 by 8 to get fractions we can compare.
So, we have 70/80 of a candy bar, and we want to make servings of 24/80 each.
How many times can 24 go into 70? 2 times, with a remainder of 22.
So, Tony can make 2 servings.
