Answer:

Time taken = 6.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we will calculate the rate of each person per hour. Then we combine the rates and afterward divide the number of envelope they could address by the combined rate.

Casey can address 20 envelopes at the rate of 20 per hour.

Casey rate = 20 envelope per hr

Anne can address 44 envelope in 2 hours

Anne rate = 22 envelope per hr

Paula can address 68 envelope in 3 hours

Paula rate = 68/3 envelope per hr

Time it will take them to address 400 envelope can be solved below

Add their rate = 20 + 22 + 68/3 = 42 + 68/3 = (126 + 68)/3 = 194/3

Time = 400 ÷ 194/3 = 400 × 3/194 = 1200/194 = 6.1855670103

Time taken = 6.2 hours

A sequence can be generated by using fn = 2f(n-1)+1, where f1 = 4 and n is a whole number greater than 1. What are the first fou
hoa [83]

Answer:

<em>{9,19,39,79}</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive Sequences</u>

The recursive sequence can be identified because each term is given as a function of one or more of the previous terms. Being n an integer greater than 1, then:

f(n) = 2f(n-1)+1

f(1) = 4

To find the first four terms of the sequence, we set n to the values {2,3,4,5}

  • For n=2

f(2) = 2f(1)+1

Since f(1)=4:

f(2) = 2*4+1

f(2) = 9

  • For n=3

f(3) = 2f(2)+1

Since f(2)=9:

f(3) = 2*9+1

f(3) = 19

  • For n=4

f(4) = 2f(3)+1

Since f(3)=19:

f(4) = 2*19+1

f(4) = 39

  • For n=5

f(5) = 2f(4)+1

Since f(4)=39:

f(5) = 2*39+1

f(5) = 79

Today Ian wants to run less than 7/12 mile. Write a fraction with a denominator of 4 to respresent a distance that is less than
Mkey [24]

Lan wants to run less than 7/12 miles. It says to find out a fraction with a denominator of 4 and which is less than 7/12.

Let's assume the required fraction to be x/4 such that x/4 is less than 7/12.

\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12} \\\\ 3*\frac{x}{4} < \frac{7}{12}*3 \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{21}{12} \\\\ \frac{3x}{4} < \frac{7}{4} \\\\ 3x < 7

So we must have multiples of 3's that should be less than 7, we have only two choices 3 < 7 or 6 < 7.

It means x = 1 or x = 2, and the required fraction would be 1/4 or 2/4.

2/4 is simplified to 1/2 and the question says to have denominator 4.

Hence, final answer is 1/4

A triangle has squares on its three sides as shown below. What is the value of x? Three squares having side lengths 3 cm, x cm,
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The value of x is 5 centimeters.

Therefore, option 3 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three sides 3,x and 4 cms

Since the triangle is right angle triangle  so, it will follow the Pythagoras theorem:

hypotenuse^2=side^2+side^2    (1)

We have been given three sides x,3 and 4

On substituting the values in (1) we get:

x^2=3^2+4^2

x^2=9+25

\Rightarrow x=5

Hence, the value of x is 5 centimeters.

Therefore, option 3 is correct.

Please look at the attachment for the figure.
