Answer:

Henry is short of gravel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to identify which of the ingredients Henry is short of.

To identify this ingredient, what is needed to be done is to share the 180kg of concrete appropriately to get which of the material does not meet its ratio and thus allowing us know which is insufficient.

The total ratio is 1 + 4 + 7 = 12

For cement, we have ;

1/12 * 180 = 15 kg

For sand, we have

4/12 * 180 = 60kg

For gravel, we have

7/12 * 180 = 105 kg

From the values in the question, we can see that all the values we have are greater what is shared in the ratio except in the case of gravel. So we can confidently say he is short of gravel

The line is 180 degrees in total so your equation would be-
X-6 + 8x + 24 = 180
9x + 18 = 180
9x = 162
Answer is: x = 18

Use the properties of geometric series to find the sum of the series. for what values of the variable does the series converge t
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

- The sum of the series is given as

7/(1 + 7z)

- The series converges for (-1/7, 1/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric series:

7 - 14z + 28z² - 56z³ + ...

The common ratio r is given as

-14z/7 or 28z²/(-14z) or -56z³/(28z²) and so on

r = -7z

The sum of the series is given as

S = a/(1 - r)

Where a is the first term in the series.

S = 7/(1 -(-7z))

= 7/(1 + 7z)

The series converges for |-7z| < 1

That is for -1/7 < z < 1/7

Dear god help me I NEED this answer!!

Answer:

<em>Correct choices: a) 5:12 and c) 7 to 12</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of red beads to pink beads is 5:7. This means that for every 5 red beads there are 7 pink beads.

It also means that for every 12 beads there are 5 red beads and 7 pink beads.

Therefore, there are two part-to-whole ratios:

5:12 red beans to total beads, and

7:12 pink beans to total beads

Correct choices: a) 5:12 and c) 7 to 12
