Answer:
2/6561
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence formula : 
where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position
given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term
to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula
recall formula :
define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9
plug in values
a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)
subtract exponents
a9 = 2(1/3)^8
evaluate exponent
a9 = 2 (1/6561)
multiply 2 and 1/6561
a9 = 2/6561
Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+10)=60
distribute 2 by multiplying numbers in parenthesis
2x+20=60
subtract 20 from both sides
2x=40
divide both sides by 2
----------
x=20

Answer:
Well there are many different ways to find 8x5=40 to 8x6=__
You could add 8 to 40 and get 48.
or you could draw pictures to represent the 48.
8x6=48
Answer: 51/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you must cut down the length of copper tubbing from 15 1/8 inches to 8 3/4 inches, the leftover piece will be:
15 1/8 - 8 3/4
Change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.
121/8 - 35/4
The LCM will be 8
( 121 - 70 )/8
51/8 or 6.375 inches
Therefore, the leftover piece will be 51/8 inches long
