I would have each block be 1/6 of a yard

You could technically have any value you want, but for me 1/6 is easiest because 1/2 and 1/3 will scale up to this like so

1/2 = (1/2)*(3/3) = 3/6

1/3 = (1/3)*(2/2) = 2/6

The diagram below might help if you're still stuck on why I picked 1/6.

<u>Answer-</u>

$\boxed{\boxed{f(n)=0.8(f(n-1))+10,\ f(0)=150,\ \ n>0}}$

<u>Solution-</u>

Here, n represents the number of months and f(n) represents the number of laptops in the store after n months.

As the store had 150 laptops in the month of January or at the beginning.

So $f(0)=150$

Every month, 20% of the laptops were sold and 10 new laptops were stocked in the store.

As 20% of laptops were sold, so 80% were in the store.

So, after one month total number of laptops in the store,

$\Rightarrow f(1)=0.8(150)+10$

$\Rightarrow f(1)=0.8(f(0))+10$ $(\because f(0)=150)$

Again after one month total number of laptops in the store,

$\Rightarrow f(2)=0.8\times (0.8(150)+10)+10$

$\Rightarrow f(2)=0.8(f(1))+10$ $(\because f(1)=0.8(150)+10)$

Analyzing the pattern, the recursive function f(n) will be,

$f(n)=0.8(f(n-1))+10,\ f(0)=150,\ \ n>0$

In an endurance race, Rachel ran

Reil [10]

Answer:

$31\frac{1}{5}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

The distance is equal to multiply the speed by the time

we have

$speed=9\frac{3}{5}\ \frac{miles}{hour}$

$time=3\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

$distance=(9\frac{3}{5})(3\frac{1}{4})$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$9\frac{3}{5}=9+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9*5+3}{5}=\frac{48}{5}$

$3\frac{1}{4}=3+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3*4+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}$

substitute

$distance=(\frac{48}{5})(\frac{13}{4})=\frac{624}{20}=31,2\ miles$

Convert to mixed number

$31.2\ mi=31+0.2=31+\frac{1}{5}=31\frac{1}{5}\ miles$
