x = 21.25
y = 22.5
z = 23.75

=============================================================

Work Shown:

AP = arithmetic progression, which is the same as arithmetic sequence

d = common difference

x = 20+d
y = 20+2d
z = 20+3d

Notice how we scale up the d terms d, 2d, 3d, counting up by 1 each time.

So that must mean 25 is the same as 20+4d

20+4d = 25

4d = 25-20

4d = 5

d = 5/4

d = 1.25

and therefore,

x = 20+d = 20+1.25 = 21.25
y = 20+2d = 20+2*1.25 = 22.5
z = 20+3d = 20+3*1.25 = 23.75

We could convert these to fraction form, but I find decimal form is easier in this case.

Crank

During week 2, he could type 15 words per minute, at his fourth week, he could type 30. So 30-15=15. He could type 15 words faster on week 4 than he could at week 2.

What is 8.25 as a fraction in simplest form?

vekshin1

8 is a whole number, so this will be the whole number part of our mixed number.

0.25 is a decimal, where 25 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 25 as a fraction over 100.

$\sf\dfrac{25}{100}$

Simplify by dividing 25 to the numerator and denominator.

$\sf25\div25=1$
$\sf100\div25=4$

So our fraction is $\sf8\dfrac{1}{4}$

0.55 is a decimal, where 55 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 55 as a fraction over 100.

$\sf\dfrac{55}{100}$

Simplify by dividing 5 to the numerator and denominator.

$\sf55\div5=11$
$\sf100\div5=20$

So our fraction is $\sf\dfrac{11}{20}$

$\sf\dfrac{5}{8}$

To convert this to a decimal, just divide 5 / 8

$\sf5\div8=0.625$
