Total length of the string = \frac{5}{6} yard

Length of string used for craft = \frac{3}{5} of total length of string

= \frac{3}{5} of \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{3}{6} yard

Length of the string left after use = Total length of the string - Length of string used for craft

Length of the string left after use = \frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{6}

=\frac{2}{6}

Reducing it to the lowest term, we get

=\frac{1}{3} yard

Therefore, the length of string left is \frac{1}{3} yard.

Rabbit population can double every 30 days, if there are 20 rabbits on a farm, how many rabbits will be on the farm after 210 da
Art [367]

Knowing the amount doubles every 30 days, we'll have to find how many times it'lll double in the 210-day time frame:

210 / 30 = 7


It doubles 7 times. If we were to write a rough, not worked on expresion representing that, knowing the starting population was of 20, we would write:

(((((((20 * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) * 2) = 2560 rabbits




Hope it helped,



Happy homework/ study exam!

VMariaS [17]
1.
km=kilometers
kilo=1000
1 km=1000meters
so
1/2km= 1/2 times 1000=1000/2=500meters


2. 1/4 km=1000/4=250 meters

3. 1/5 km=1000/5=200 meters

4. 2/5 km=2000/5=400 meters

5. 3/4 km=3000/4=750 meters

6. 1/8 km=1000/8=125 meters

A bus and a train leave the same station at the same time and travel in the same direction along parallel routes. The train runs
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Smallest rate for the train is 50 mph and largest is 60 mph.

For the bus it is 25 and 30 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed of the train is 2x then speed of the bus is x mph, and the train travels twice as far as the bus in a given time.

Distance = speed * time

For the largest rate:

d =  2x * 0.5   for the train

x = d

0.5d  =  x       for the bus

d - 0.5d = 15

0.5d = 15

d = 30

So the rate for the train =  30 / 0.5 = 60 mph.

In a similar fashion we can show that the smallest rate for the train is

25/ 0.5 = 50 mph.

What is the 100th term if the sequence? 5 ,1 ,-3,-7
wel
<span>5 ,1 ,-3,-7  ?  what the dickens is going on?

notice, from 5 to 1, is really -4 units,

from 1 to -3, is -4 units as well, 1 -4 = -3  and so on.

so, to get the next term's value, you simply subtract 4 from the current one, namely -4 is the "common difference".

and we also know the first term is 5, ok... then

</span>\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\&#10;a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;d=\textit{common difference}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;d=-4\\&#10;a_1=5\\&#10;n=100&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_{100}=5+(100-1)(-4)\implies a_{100}=5+(99)(-4)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_{100}=5-396\implies a_{100}=-391<span>
