Answer:
2 years: 9 months
We know that, 1 year =12 months
2 years =2×12 months
=24 months
Given
2 years: 9 months
This can be written as
=
9months
24months
=
3months
8months
=8 months :3 months
Hence, 8 months: 3 months is the simplest form of 2 years :9 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7/8 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
pounds collected in a day = number of pounds collected in 8 days / number of days
7/8
Interesting question. Good to know for computer science.
Suppose you have a function like
an = 3x - 2 Try the first couple
a1 = 3(1) - 2
a1 = 3 - 2
a1 = 1
a2 = 3(2) - 2
a2 = 6 - 2
a2 = 4 So each term differs by 3
a2 - a1 = 3
an = a_(n - 1) + 3
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 4 + 3
a3 = 7
a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 7 + 3
a4 = 10
a5 = a4+ 3
a5 = 10 + 3
a5 = 13
I'll do one more and then check it.
a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
a6 = 3x -2
a6 = 3*6 - 2
a6 = 18 - 2
a6 = 16 which checks.
So the general formula is
an = a_(n - 1) * k if you were multiplying or
an = a_(n - 1) + k if you were adding. The key thing is that you are working with the previous term.
