Answer:

The novel has 2160 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pages of the novel is x.

Mica has read 1/2 of the novel, so x/2 = 0.5x.

Denise has read 2/5 of the novel, so 2x/5 = 0.4x.

Mica has read 216 pages more than Denise

This means that:

0.5x - 0.4x = 216

0.1x = 216

x = 216/0.1

x = 2160

The novel has 2160 pages.

1/1×3 + 1/3×5 + ... + 1/47×49 HELP PLZ
Natalka [10]

Answer:

  24/49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add the terms and see if there's a pattern

  \dfrac{1}{1\times 3}+\dfrac{1}{3\times 5}=\dfrac{5+1}{1\times 3\times 5}=\dfrac{2}{5}\quad\text{sum of 2 terms}\\\\\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5\times 7}=\dfrac{14+1}{5\times7}=\dfrac{3}{7}\quad\text{sum of 3 terms}

Suppose we say the sum of n terms is (n/(2n+1)), the next term in the series will be 1/((2n+1)(2n+3)) and adding that to the presumed sum gives ...

  \dfrac{n}{2n+1}+\dfrac{1}{(2n+1)(2n+3)}=\dfrac{n(2n+3)+1}{(2n+1)(2n+3)}=\dfrac{2n^2+3n+1}{(2n+1)(2n+3)}\\\\=\dfrac{(2n+1)(n+1)}{(2n+1)(2n+3)}=\dfrac{n+1}{2n+3}\text{ matches }\dfrac{(n+1)}{2(n+1)+1}

Then it appears the sum of n terms is (n/(2n+1)). So, the sum of 24 terms is ...

  S_{24}=\dfrac{24}{2\times24+1}=\boxed{\dfrac{24}{49}}
