Answer:

The top choice is the answer. a1=7; an= 3*a_(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by finding out what the terms are multiplied by. It is a geometric sequence so multiplication is involved.

Take the 3rd term (63) and divide it by the second term.

63/21 = 3

What this means is that each term in the sequence is multiplied by 3 to get to the next term.

The first term is 7

So the answer is an = 3* a_n-1

The answer must be the top one. See if it works.

a2 = 3*a_(2 -1 )

a2 = 3 * a1

a2 = 3 * 7

a2 = 21 which it does.

There are 620 students and 31 teachers at the Turner Middle School.There are 950 students and 38 teachers at the Green Middle Sc
kicyunya [14]
We begin with the <span> Turner Middle School:
Ratio of students to teachers: </span>\frac{620}{31}
Green Middle School:
Ratio of students to teachers: \frac{950}{38}
Let check that we cannot form a proportion:
\frac{620}{31}=20\text{ and } \frac{950}{38}=25
The two ratios are not equals so we cannot form a proportion. 
Let x be the number of <span>teachers that Green have to hire in order to make the two ratios equal. We get the equation:
</span>\frac{950}{38+x}=\frac{620}{31}\text{ and we solve the equation like this:}\\38+x=\frac{950\times31}{620}=47.5 \text{ and then:}\\x=47.5-38=9.5

<span>The Green school need to hire 9 teachers. 

Part-to-whole ratio:
</span>Turner Middle School:
 \frac{620}{31+620}
Green Middle School:
\frac{950}{38+950}

rewona [7]

i'm sorry but can you put in more details as to what each item costs, if it is just variables then it should be something like b times the amount bought plus c times the amount bought. without the costs i cannot actually give you how much she spent
