Answer:

$\sum ^{20} _{n \to \11} 4n$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the series using the summation notation, first we need to find the nth term of the sequence formed. The sequence generated by the series is an arithmetic sequence as shown;

4, 8, 12, 16, 20...80

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as Tn = a +(n-1)d

a is the first term = 4

d is the common difference = 21-8 = 8-4 = 4

n is the number of terms

On substituting, Tn = 4+(n-1)4

Tn = 4+4n-4

Tn = 4n

The nth term of the series is 4n.

Since the last term is 80, L = 4n

80 = 4n

n = 80/4

n = 20

This shows that the total number of terms in the sequence is 20

According to the series given 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20+ . . . + 80 , we are to take the sum of the first 20terms of the sequence. Using summation notation;

4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20+ . . . + 80 = $\sum ^{20} _{n \to \11} 4n$

The drama club is selling candles for a fundraiser. They spend $100 on the candles and sell them for $4.50 each. How many candle

IrinaVladis [17]

So we know that they spend $100 on the candles. In order to make a $125 profit, they must sell $225 worth of candles. Each candle sells for $4.50, so:
4.5x > 225 is the inequality for that. It just means $4.50 times the number of candles has to be more than the $225 we need. To simplify it, just divide both sided by 4.5:
x > 50
They have to sell more than 50 candles. Make sense?

Simplify the expression

Ronch [10]

Answer:

(3 x)/(5 x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(3 x^2)/(5 x^2 + 2 x)

Hint: | Factor common terms out of 5 x^2 + 2 x.

Factor x out of 5 x^2 + 2 x:

(3 x^2)/(x (5 x + 2))

Hint: | For all exponents, a^n a^m = a^(n + m). Apply this to (3 x^2)/(x (5 x + 2)).

Combine powers. (3 x^2)/(x (5 x + 2)) = (3 x^(2 - 1))/(5 x + 2):

(3 x^(2 - 1))/(5 x + 2)

Hint: | Evaluate 2 - 1.

2 - 1 = 1:

Answer: (3 x)/(5 x + 2)

The height of a lighthouse in Pensacola, Florida, is 150 feet. Standing next to the statue, Natalie casts a 1.1-foot shadow. She

iogann1982 [59]

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Natalie is standing right next to the Penthouse, we can establish the ration between her height and the shadow she casts, which is;

1.1 : 5.5

The two are related by a factor of 1/5

We can use this factor to establish the shadow cast by the penthouse;

1/5 * 150

= 30

A total of 1482 earthquakes occurred in a 7-day period at the end of April

topjm [15]

Answer:

211.7 Per Day 8.8 Per Hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First you do 1482/7 which gives you an average for each day (211.7)

Then you take 211.7 and divide that by 24 because there are 24 hours in a day and doing so would give you 8.8

Pierre uses 30 grams of chocolate to make

Travka [436]

Pierre can make 3 liters of chocolate sauce from 450 grams of chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Chocolate used to make 200 ml of chocolate sauce = 30 grams

Ratio of chocolate to milliliters of chocolate sauce = 30:200

Let,

x be the milliliters of sauce made from 450 grams of chocolate

Ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce = x:450

Using proportion;

Ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce:: ratio of chocolate to ml of sauce

$30:200::450:x$

Product of extreme = Product of mean

$30*x=200*450\\30x=90000$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{90000}{30}\\x=3000$

450 grams of chocolate will make 3000 milliliters of chocolate sauce.

We will convert this in liters.

1 liter = 1000 ml

3000 ml = $\frac{3000}{1000}$ = 3 liters

Pierre can make 3 liters of chocolate sauce from 450 grams of chocolate.
