Answer:

12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try the guess method.

3:1      3 + 1 = 4     4 is too low. We need a sum of 16.

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 2.

6:2     6 + 2 = 8   8 is still too low

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

12:4    12 + 4 = 16    16 is correct.

Answer: 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is option C.

<h3>-6, -5 2/5, -4 1/5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given by

A(n) =  - 6 + (n - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

where n is the number of terms

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> first</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 1

So we have

A(1) =  - 6 + (1 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (0)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>fou</u><u>rth</u><u> term</u>

n = 4

A(4) =  - 6 + (4 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (3)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 5 \frac{2}{5}

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>tenth</u><u> </u><u>term</u>

n = 10

A(10) =  - 6 + (10 - 1)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 6 + (9)( \frac{1}{5} )

=  - 4 \frac{1}{5}

Hope this helps you

Point W is located at (0, 7), and point X is located at (4, 0). Julianne wants to find point F on WX such that the ration of WF
aniked [119]

The coordinate of point F will be (1.6,4.2) for the given line segment.

<h3> What is a line segment?</h3>

A line section that can connect two places is referred to as a segment.

In other words, a line segment is just part of a big line that is straight and going unlimited in both directions.

The line is here! It extends endlessly in both directions and has no beginning or conclusion.

Given the F intercept 2 and 3

x = [2(4) + 3(0)]/(2+3)

x = 8/5 = 1.6

Similarly

y = [2(0) + 3 (7)]/(2+3)

y = 21/5 = 4.2

Hence "The coordinate of point F will be (1.6,4.2) for the given line segment".

The tree diagram below shows all of the possible outcomes for flipping three coins.
creativ13 [48]

The probability that two of the coins will be tails is 1/2

It is 1/2 because "at least two tails" means that two tails and the rest of the number of tails, which is 3. In total the three coins have 6 sides. The chance of having two tails and one is three out of 6, simplified is 1/2 ;)
